How To Improve

[WE HOPE TO BRING BACK IN-PERSON TRAINING SOON – WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE SCHEDULE DATES!]

Is your business experiencing more demand than you’re currently able to meet?
Do you feel as if your intelligence and experience aren’t being fully leveraged at work?
Likewise for the intelligence and experience of your staff?
Then this seminar is for you. Learn from our successes and challenges with LEAN so far and hear why it's a good path to be on. You'll learn from Zingerman's front-line staff and managers who are spearheading process improvement projects and you'll leave with specific tools to start projects of your own. Not just for production facilities, our Path to Lean can be successfully applied to services, office operations, training, leadership - really just about any aspect of business, or life - even your laundry!
