September 2022 Community Newsletter

Our UK Lean Summit is just 7 weeks away. As in previous years, the event is organised around a set of key questions with examples from different sectors. This year we are focussing on the key challenges all of us face. These include:

• The productivity challenge and cost pressures.
• Supply chain disruption.
• The environmental crisis.
• Reflecting upon lessons learned?from the COVID-19 pandemic.

At it's heart, the UK Lean Summit is for anyone trying to start, re-start, deepen or enhance their own, or their organisation's improvement journey. To support these needs we have asked speakers to help guide us all through the following questions:?

• How do you use Lean Transformation Framework (LTF) to transform your business?
• How do the best companies develop their strategies, gain consensus and turn them into action?
• What is the Lean approach to problem solving?
• How do the best companies develop and build their lean management system?
• How do the best companies develop and engage team members – developing a kaizen mindset?

It's been too long since we were all together. To learn and share as a lean community. To gain insights and take away new ideas to explore. We look forward to meeting old friends and welcoming new people to the event. We hope you will be able to join us. I personally can't wait. I look forward to seeing you all in Liverpool!

Best?wishes,

Dave Brunt
