Lean Foundations for Beginners: From Vision to Action
If you’re new to Lean and want a solid, real-world understanding of what it is, why it works, and how to use it — this course is for you.
Lean Engineering: The Basics is a clear, practical guide to Lean thinking, designed specifically for people who are new to Lean or continuous improvement. You’ll learn the key concepts, understand how leadership plays a vital role, and discover how vision and strategy translate into action on the ground.
Through straightforward explanations, diagrams, and industry-informed examples, this course walks you through each layer of effective Lean implementation — from setting the vision all the way down to daily actions and KPIs.
We’ll explore:
What Lean is really about — beyond just tools
The importance of clear vision, mission, values and behaviours
How leaders set direction, culture and momentum for change
Strategy deployment using tools like A3 thinking and cascade planning
How to connect high-level plans to measurable outcomes
What expectations underpin success in Lean engineering environments
How to make Lean work in complex, real-world organisations like defence, manufacturing, and operations
By the end of this course, you’ll have a practical framework to follow, and the confidence to begin applying Lean thinking in your own team or organisation — no jargon, no fluff, just focused knowledge you can use.
