Growing Lean: How to Build a Better Business

Many business owners face growing pains in their business, systems and processes that once worked and now take too much time and effort, hampering service delivery and preventing them to focus on high value activities that would grow their business.  Lean is an approach to doing things Quicker, Smarter, Cheaper, & Better, but getting started can be a challenge.

Lean focuses on the elimination of Waste for your day-to-day task, improving efficiency, saving time and money. But for many business owners, lean is about more than cash savings though. For most, it is about building a stable, secure, and sustainable business that is agile enough to face economic challenges. For many it is about liberating themselves from Non-Value adding activities through questioning and re-designing their processes, allowing them to focus on business growth and Value-Adding activities. For others, Lean has given them the ability to get home on time, work less at the weekends, while still getting the work done.

The Adoption of Lean Thinking and taking a Grow Lean approach helps to Build a Better Business. The Local Enterprise Office is partnering with Jigsaw to deliver the Lean for Micro Programme, so we can help great businesses like yours BE BETTER!

Getting started with Lean can be a challenge and, in this session, you will hear and see lean tools and thinking, key steps and challenges to getting started, practical examples from companies on their  steps and some practical exercises that you can apply in your business the next day.
