Launch Lean Capability in 90 Days

 If you’d like, we can share the pilot blueprint and scorecard template and walk through how this model would fit your organization. 

Most organizations don’t struggle because they lack Lean training.

They struggle because learners stall during the application phase — when projects need scoping, A3s need clarity, root cause needs rigor, and countermeasures need follow-through.

This 90-day pilot is designed to close that gap and prove capability building is working — with a cohort size that’s manageable and a scorecard leadership can understand.

A pilot is a structured cohort experience — not just course access.

A typical pilot includes:

• 10–20 learners (a manageable cohort size) 
• Access to certification learning paths (Lean + Lean Six Sigma) 
• CI Navigator™ included (on-demand support during the project phase) 
• Progress reporting (completion, engagement, deliverables) 
• Kickoff + closeout session (alignment + results review)
   

Optional add-ons may include project review, customized learning paths, or leadership sponsor sessions.

 This model works best for organizations that want to:

• launch or relaunch a CI / OpEx capability program 
• improve completion and project follow-through 
• reduce burden on internal CI leaders and coaches 
• create early wins and internal champions 
• build a clear business case to scale

Typical roles who sponsor or lead pilots include:

• Directors / VPs of Operational Excellence 
• Continuous Improvement Leaders 
• Lean Leaders / Deployment Leads 
• Quality Leaders supporting CI 
• Learning & Development partners supporting OpEx

The pilot includes a simple scorecard designed to measure what matters — not just course completion.

Most organizations track:

• Activation and engagement (who started and stayed active)
• Completion rates (by learning path) 
• Deliverable quality (A3 clarity, scope, logic) 
• Project traction (movement from analysis to implementation) 
• Countermeasures implemented 
• Measurable results (cycle time, defects, capacity, lead time, delivery performance) 
• Leadership reinforcement (cadence and barrier removal) 

This scorecard creates a clean closeout story and a clear decision point at day 90.

Most training programs fail during the project phase — not during the learning phase.

CI Navigator™ provides on-demand guidance to help learners:

• tighten problem statements and scope 
• strengthen root cause logic 
• select stronger countermeasures 
• build sustainment plans 
• avoid common project failure modes

CI Navigator™ is designed to support Lean and Six Sigma learners during application — so projects don’t stall and CI leaders aren’t forced into constant rework.

At the end of 90 days, you’ll have a clear answer to:

• Is adoption strong enough to scale? 
• Are learners completing and applying the work? 
• Are projects producing measurable outcomes? 
• What should change before expanding?

Organizations that see strong results typically scale into an Enterprise Learning Account for broader rollout and multi-site deployment.
