Certified Lean Green Belt - English

Achieve Success as a Lean Manager

Certified Lean Green Belt is an intensive and practical program spanning Seven days. In this intensive Green Belt training we will give you the necessary skills to manage Lean Pilot projects. We combine Lean and management, and you will work with a case study as well as practical tasks that ensure in depth understanding of the thinking.

Lean principles and tools

This course gives you the ability to translate Lean theory into practice. On the first two days of the training, we ensure a basic understanding of the Lean principles and the necessary knowledge of the tools (Lean Yellow Belt).  After this, we focus on you as a project manager, where you are trained in Lean as a method through practical case work on a chosen case-project. You gain knowledge about Change Management and the managerial tools that are essential for the successful implementation of organizational changes.

The course is very practically oriented, and we do not just give you concepts – but concrete tools and exercises that you can take home and implement in your own project. You will be working on the case-project during the last five training days, where we have mixed days with both theoretical teaching and practical casework and exercises. We of course provide sparring and a helping hand as you work on your project. The training is completed by an examination. The exam is a 30-minute presentation of your case-project. The purpose of the exam is to ascertain the degree to which you have understood Lean management and the application of the most important Lean tools.
