EXPERIENCE BEST PRACTICE IN ACTION 

OUR BEST PRACTICE PARTNERS ARE YOUR PARTNERS – EXCELLENT ORGANIZATIONS ARE OPENING THEIR GATES FOR YOU 

The transformation of a company requires a shared vision among management as to how the company should develop. Obtaining live insights and engaging in an open exchange with benchmark organizations is the most enduring way to ignite your own improvement process, breathing fresh momentum into it.  

The best proof of the effectiveness of Lean Management are the companies that have successfully implemented lean and are working toward continuously developing it.  

Our Best Practice Partners represent successful industrial corporations as well as more exotic ones that have established beacons within their organizations and processes. By holistically integrating lean mechanisms, they are considered leaders in value creation, while they tirelessly continue their development – utilizing digital solutions, resource-saving processes, effective management tools and method toolkits. Each and every one of them following the same goal: promoting a culture of improvement that covers the entire end-to-end process

Here, the focus is on constructive exchange.

At the same time, the host companies also benefit from your feedback and are able to derive new solutions for their continued transformation journeys.

A VISIT TO ONE OF OUR BEST PRACTICE PARTNERS – CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS 

During your personalized best-practice visit, tailored to your needs, you and your team will discover first-hand what introducing lean management and digitalization solutions can do for your organization, by visiting a cutting-edge company. They share ideas in partnership with business leaders and those responsible for transformation, and benefit from their experiences and learning areas. You are able to compare, evaluate, and manage your own ideas and methods that fit your specific situation and challenges within your own company. 

You choose your key topics based on your current challenges, improvement issues or strategy direction. You may be facing a holistic lean or digital transformation, or perhaps you want to prepare individual business units and their stakeholders for the future. Among our Best Practice Partners, we search among our best practice partners for benchmark cases that are a good fit for you and tailored to your situation. In the process, we also deliberately recommend partners from outside the industry. Such experiences measurably increase your willingness to learn by encouraging you to think outside the box. Working together, we set the goals of the visit, key points, agenda, group of participants and desired time frame.  

THIS IS WHAT A VISIT MIGHT LOOK LIKE  

  • What motivated the corporate transformation?
  • Which initial situation were the company leaders faced with?
  • Which factors contributed to the success of the transformation – from the initial implementation examples to the systematic rollout?

  • What was done to overcome challenges and headwinds? 
  • What role did the executive play in the change process?
  • What does the situation look like today and what will the next steps be?
