TBM LeanSigma Institute

Essential training and development for each stage of your Lean Journey

Lean leadership and culture change are the foundation for every step of a successful LeanSigma transformation. Unless your entire organization understands and rallies behind your initiative – and is proficient with the critical tools and techniques required to drive fast, continuous improvement – it is unlikely you will succeed. The TBM LeanSigma Institute, headed up by Mike Serena, Managing Director, was formed to provide that essential learning and motivation – and facilitate its rapid, efficient transfer to every part of your organization.

Many of TBM’s clients have relied on the Institute’s experience-based learning at different phases of their transformation… from basic awareness training for senior management… to skill development and skill mastery for operational teams. Each of our instructors is a senior TBM consultant who’s spent more than ten years, hands-on, actually implementing the LeanSigma principles they’re teaching, grounded in the roots of the Toyota Production System. Many are widely-recognized experts. They spend most of the year in the field, quickly leading client teams to dramatic performance improvement, enabling them to bring a wealth of real-world experience to every workshop.

Introduce the concepts of LeanSigma to multiple levels of management and operations… and give them a clear understanding of the road ahead. Advance new skill sets and internal capabilities to create teams of action-oriented change agents who will help your organization travel further, faster. Build leadership skills. And create the rock-solid internal capability you need for sustained innovation, growth and competitive advantage.

EssenTBM LeanSigma Institute courses are delivered in several different formats:
Customized, Online, On-Site and Public.

Customized training is developed by a senior TBM LeanSigma Institute consultant who works directly with your company to ensure a customized curriculum, unique to your enterprise needs and culture, is created and delivered.

Online courses are an easy and cost effective way to train more people in your company on the concepts of LeanSigma. TBM’s innovative Online Learning Center delivers LeanSigma learning globally, at internet speed, providing a convenient way to train an infinite number of employees in a short time. Our approach combines interactive exercises with simulations to reinforce key learning, and get everyone quickly speaking the same improvement language.

On-Site workshops bring our full learning curriculum right to your facility, or the location of your choice, tailored to your needs and objectives. A cost-effective alternative if you have six or more individuals to train.

Public courses are a comprehensive curriculum of interactive, instructor-led workshops conducted at our headquarters in Durham, North Carolina, and at conference centers and hotels around the world, to position each level of your organization for success at every stage of your LeanSigma transformation.
