We are crazy enthusiasts and passionate about what we do professionally every day. We want to share our knowledge and skills -- that's why we deliver our trainings free of charge to everyone connected with schools (primary, vocational, secondary and higher).
Our current training package includes:
Lean Thinking in schools
Troubleshooting the Japanese way
Process improvement according to the Lean concept
EcoGame
Each participant receives a certificate from us after completing the training.
The purpose of the training is to present the concept of Lean Thinking (kaizen) - a set of universal competencies desired by top employers. In the course of delving into the secrets of kaizen participants get to know the techniques of work with the use of group values, 10 rules of kaizen and a simulation game.
The time together will be based on working according to the 10 kaizen principles:
Let go of old rules of thinking and acting.
Think of ways to make the 1st principle feasible.
Don't make exceptions! Change and improve!
Look for the simplest solution, not the best one.
Fix mistakes right away.
Use your wits, not your wallet.
Problems are our opportunities.
Always repeat "Why?" 5 times to get to the root cause of the problem.
Seek ideas by involving others.
Improvement is endless.
These 10 principles and a set of values drawn up by the group provide a basis for changing attitudes in the course of teamwork, in the face of challenges and problems, and in the effective use of existing resources -- talent, knowledge, money, and materials.
The scope of the training includes the following:
Lean and the 10 principles of kaizen.
Working on values, or how to build the mental security of the team
Process Analysis.
Indicators of continuous improvement.
Managing continuous improvement.
Teachers, supervisors of groups of students aged 13-19 years in elementary schools, vocational schools, technical schools and high schools.
The goal of the training is to learn the basic principles of problem solving by learning how to define problems, how to search for them, and how to find their sources.
Participants gain effective and creative problem solving skills which they can use both in the work environment and in their private lives. Theory is learned in groups of several people and exercises are based on examples from everyday life.
Thanks to the positive attitude and professionalism of our Trainers, learning is always accompanied by a great and friendly atmosphere.
Trainings are organized both in a stationary and an on-line version. In order to increase the effectiveness of those carried out remotely, exercises are conducted in the MIRO environment, with which each participant is familiarized at the beginning of the training.
The scope of the training includes the following:
Deming cycle - PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), i.e., continuous improvement
Problem definition - case study part 1
5 x "Why?" - case study part 2
The ISHIKAWA (Fishbone) Diagram - case study part 3
Defining solutions and the best ideas priority matrix - case study part 4
Monitoring progress of solution implementation - about SCRUM boards
Standardization of solutions - we are not the only ones who learn from our mistakes
How to moderate a problem-solving session
Teachers and supervisors of groups of students aged 13-19 of elementary, vocational, technical and high schools.
The purpose of the training is to learn the basic principles of process improvement according to the Lean concept, as well as to prepare teachers to carry out the activities of the Young Lean Leader Program in Stage 3.
Participants of the training acquire process analysis skills and learn practical steps to improve process efficiency.
The content of the training is based on the implementation experience of Lean Management practitioners, and at the same time it is based on a simple example, which allows even non-advanced learners to learn the secrets of everyday work of Lean people.
The training is conducted on-line. In order to increase its effectiveness, exercises are conducted in the MIRO environment. To that end, we provide a 20-minute introductory tutorial on working with MIRO for those who are interested.
The scope of the training includes the following:
defining a challenge to the process,
building a map of the current process state,
value analysis in the process - identification of fields for improvement
prioritization of implementation activities
building a map of the future state of the process
standards for presenting kaizen ideas
principles for conducting a retrospective meeting for reflection
Teachers, supervisors of groups of students aged 13-19 of elementary, vocational, technical and high schools.
The game was created in order to build pro-ecological awareness and show that each of us can act to save our world.
The aim of the game is to familiarize its participants with pro-ecological actions that can be taken by individuals, companies or institutions.
During the game, by taking 12 actions on 3 levels of the game we reduce ecological footprints and collect Ecoins.
Reducing ecological footprints builds our experience, which we can use by engaging in additional activities (improvements). Ecoins, in turn, allow us to make investments that reduce our ecological footprint.
As the game progresses, by implementing and improving our activities and disseminating them among the public, we increase our eco-efficiency, which causes the speed of reducing ecological footprints and our ability to generate Ecoins to increase. This allows us to move to the next level of the game, where we can engage in additional pro-ecological activities and open up new areas of improvement.
The final part of the game is saving the whole world thanks to the reduction of our ecological footprint.
The game itself takes 1 to 3 hours to play, depending on the player's involvement. It is also possible to spend only 15 minutes a day on it. During our breaks, our previous actions will continue to earn Ecoins and the investments will reduce our ecological footprint.
For anyone from 7-100 years old who is ready to learn in a fun way how we can take care of our planet.
