A Different Approach To Lean Training

When Your Business Grows Faster Than Your Leaders Have Been Developed
Developing people and improving work — together — through real-world, coach-led Lean learning.
Many growing, owner-led organizations reach a moment where the business is moving faster than their leaders have been developed.
Loyal, hardworking people step into lead roles — not because they were trained to manage or coach, but because they were trusted.
As customers grow and expectations rise, owners begin to feel the pressure:
How do we scale this business without overwhelming the very people who got us here?
That’s the moment when improvement can no longer be about tools or projects.
It has to be about developing people, together, through real work.
How You Address This Moment
A Different Approach to Lean Learning
The Moment You Serve
At The Lean Learning Academy, we support organizations at this exact stage of growth.
Instead of one-time courses or consulting projects, we focus on capability development — helping leaders learn how to teach, and teams learn how to improve their own work.
Our approach stays consistent:
Learning is coach-led, not self-study alone
Training is online and practical, not theoretical
Improvement happens through real work, not simulations
Capability is built gradually, not rushed
This allows organizations to improve performance without losing their culture or burning out their people
What This Looks Like in Practice
There Is No Single “Right” Starting Point
Depending on where an organization is, learning may begin with:
Team Leader development
Helping leaders who were promoted for their loyalty and work ethic learn how to coach and develop othersSmall pilot teams
Teams working on real problems, building confidence and problem-solving capability togetherA combination of both
Leaders and teams learning side by side, supported over time
All of this is supported through an ongoing subscription model, so learning doesn’t stop when a course ends.
Who This Is For
The Lean Learning Academy works best with:
Owner-led or family-influenced organizations
Growing businesses (typically 50–300 employees)
Leaders promoted from within
Organizations that want improvement without sacrificing people or culture
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to solve it by yourself.
How Learning Happens — In Small, Real Teams
Learning Happens Best in Small Teams
At The Lean Learning Academy, we don’t believe Lean is learned alone — and it doesn’t require large groups or company-wide rollouts.
Most learning happens through small, focused teams working on real work.
A typical learning team includes:
A representative from management or leadership
A Team Leader
3–6 team members doing the work
That’s it.
The team doesn’t need to be large to be effective.
In fact, smaller teams learn faster, communicate more openly, and build confidence sooner.
Why Small Teams Work
Small teams allow:
Real problems to surface safely
Leaders to practice teaching and coaching
Team members to participate without pressure
Learning to happen during daily work
This approach makes improvement manageable — especially for growing organizations where time and resources are limited.
Start Small. Learn Deeply. Expand Thoughtfully.
Many organizations begin with one small pilot team.
As leaders and teams build confidence and capability, the same approach can be extended to other teams — without starting over or redesigning the system.
There’s no requirement to “go big” to get started.
What matters is starting where learning can happen well.
Call to Action
Why We Start With an Interest Call
The Lean Learning Academy is offered as an ongoing subscription, designed to support leaders and teams as they develop capability over time.
Joining begins with a short interest call — by design.
The purpose of the call is simple:
• To understand your situation
• To learn what you’re hoping to improve
• To determine whether the subscription is the right fit for you and your team
There’s no pressure to commit and no obligation to move forward.
For many organizations, the call becomes a straightforward, guided way to get started — with clarity, context, and support from the beginning.
Developing people works best when it starts with understanding.
