Lean Migration – Effective Implementation and Sustainable Anchoring of KVP

Many Lean/KVP initiatives start with energy – and lose effectiveness as soon as implementation begins: Measures are "rolled out", but not adopted. Teams do not understand the why, routines are not stable, standards remain optional – and in the end, frustration arises instead of improvement capability.

The online seminar Lean Migration is the third building block of the 3-part seminar series (Mindset – Management – Migration) and starts exactly here: How does Lean/KVP become a real movement in the organization – with clear control, effective leadership and an approach that considers people, learning and team dynamics?

The 5M Lean House serves as a reference framework: Lean Migration stands for implementation in waves – removing hurdles, empowering, generating quick wins, scaling and consistently transferring into standards, routines and responsibilities.

Content:

- Brief introduction to the 5M Lean House: Structure, logic and classification of Lean Migration in the overall model (from mindset to implementation)
- Change Management in the Lean context: Making change controllable – instead of "rolling out" (adoption in everyday life as a success criterion)
- Three perspectives that belong together:
1. Control & Structure (objectives, roadmap, responsibilities, resources, milestones, KPIs)
2. Human & Learning (orientation, security, competence building, motivation, resistance)
3. Team & Group Dynamics (roles, norms, conflicts, trust, common standards)
- Lewin as basic logic: Unfreeze – Change – Stabilize (create willingness, empower, anchor – instead of moving on too quickly)
- Kotter as a leadership roadmap: 8 steps as a practical guide (urgency, coalition, vision, support, hurdle removal, quick wins, tempo, anchoring)
- Streich/Change Curve: Understanding emotional phases and leading phase-appropriately (not personalizing resistance, but accompanying it effectively)
- Actively managing change types: Sponsor, coalition, multipliers, supporters, pragmatists, wait-and-see, skeptics, blockers – and what each role needs in change
- Team & Group Dynamics (Tuckman): Forming–Storming–Norming–Performing as an explanation for why friction is normal – and why standards, role clarification and leadership are crucial
- From project plan to everyday routine: Change only becomes effective through Daily Management, clear decision-making paths, visualization, escalation and consistent problem-solving
- Avoiding typical stumbling blocks: Parallel worlds (project vs. everyday life), tool hopping, KPI cosmetics, overloading, unclear responsibilities, lack of stabilization
- Transfer to your practice: Creating a concrete Lean Migration plan for your area (starting points, wave logic, quick wins, empowerment, sustainability)

Target group

The seminar is aimed at all those who want to start Lean/KVP not only, but also to transfer it effectively into everyday life - regardless of whether they have operational responsibility or work process-oriented/planning. It is especially suitable for executives, Lean/KVP/CI managers, internal multipliers, and roles from production, PPS/planning, logistics, quality, maintenance, and adjacent areas. The contents are usable across industries and transferable to all work environments in which change is to become effective through routines, standards, and teamwork.

Objectives of the online seminar

After the seminar, participants can typically:

- Explain Lean migration as an implementation and anchoring logic - and clearly distinguish it from "change as rollout".
- Plan and control changes through the three perspectives (structure, human/learning, team dynamics) - instead of just processing measures.
- Use the Lewin/Kotter/Streich models as a guide to avoid typical change errors (implementing too early, moving on too early, personalizing resistance).
- Manage roles in change in a targeted manner (sponsor, coalition, multipliers, etc.) and thus increase adoption in everyday life.
- Lead change in teams in a phase-appropriate manner (Tuckman/Storming & Change Curve) and bring conflicts objectively into clarification and standards.
- Derive a practical roadmap in waves (Pilot → Stabilize → Scale → Anchor) - including Quick Wins and obstacle removal.
- Ensure sustainability: stabilize new ways of working through standards, routines, KPI logic, and daily management until the new becomes "normal".
- Formulate concrete next steps for your own area: migration plan, starting points, first routines, and measures to enable.

Certificate

At the end, there is an online knowledge test (multiple choice) as a learning and transfer check. You will receive a certificate of attendance in any case. If you pass the test successfully, the certificate of attendance will be supplemented with a corresponding note on the successful completion of the knowledge test.
