Many Lean/KVP initiatives fail not due to a lack of tools, but due to a lack of clarity in thinking and acting: What is "improvement" in everyday life – and what attitude is needed for it?
The online seminar Lean Mindset is the introduction to the 3-part seminar series (Mindset – Management – Migration) and creates a common understanding of how improvement work is thought, led, and lived in everyday life – away from activism, towards learning, stability, and effective problem-solving.
- Brief introduction to the 5M Lean House: structure, logic, and classification of content in the overall model- Motivation as a starting point: why genuine improvement starts with inner drive, clarity, and meaning (not with tools)- Lean as a culture: KVP as a system – not as a method box (Kaizen thinking, learning culture, "Respect for People")- Mindset principles in everyday life: from "finding the culprit" to understanding causes (deviation → problem → learning)- Problem awareness and standards: why standards are not "bureaucracy", but the basis for improvement- Gemba and fact-based orientation: better decisions through observation, data, and process understanding- Leadership attitude for KVP: being a role model, asking questions, strengthening responsibility, enabling ownership- Collaboration and communication: psychological safety, feedback, and resolving conflicts in a factual manner- Typical stumbling blocks: tool-hopping, KPI "cosmetics", parallel worlds, lack of routines – and how to avoid them- Transfer to your practice: in-depth application to your area (production/planning/logistics – transferable to other contexts), optionally as a mini-case clinic with concrete practical cases and next steps
The seminar is aimed at all those interested who do not want to leave improvement work to chance – regardless of whether they have operational responsibility or work in a process-oriented/planning role. It is particularly suitable for participants from production, production planning and control, logistics, and related fields who want to effectively anchor KVP in their daily work. The content is cross-industry and can be applied to all work environments where processes are designed, controlled, and improved.
After the seminar, participants can typically:
- Explain Lean Mindset as an independent KVP attitude and differentiate it from a purely "tool/program understanding", including the central principles (learning, transparency, cause-and-effect orientation, process thinking).- Anchor improvement as a learning loop in everyday life: consistently use deviations as a source of knowledge and systematically derive what needs to be changed in the process, rather than fighting symptoms.- Clearly separate "mistakes" and "learning" and thus foster an environment where problems can be made visible (and should be) as a prerequisite for stable performance and continuous improvement.- Consider processes as designable and controllable and derive a clear logic of thought from this: if we understand the process, we can plan, stabilize, and improve it, regardless of individual people.- Use standards as stability anchors: define normality, make deviations visible, and ensure good results are reproducible (away from "heroism", towards controlled processes).- Treat "what's going well?" just as systematically as "what's going wrong?": not only celebrate good results, but also justify, secure, and make them repeatable.- Think KVP proactively: translate future developments into scenarios and derive which process design makes it more robust, optionally with simple forecasting/simulation logics as a thought model.- Derive concrete first steps for your own area: suitable questions, routines, and starting points to make Lean Mindset visible and practical in the team (quick wins + sustainable anchoring).
- Live online training with clear structure and red thread- Short impulses + direct application to typical practical cases- Case studies and transfer to your own context- Group work in breakouts and moderated exchange- Discussion & experience exchange via interactive chat, surveys, and Q&A- Practice-oriented templates/checklists for implementation after the seminar
At the end, there is an online knowledge test (multiple choice) as a learning and transfer check. You will receive a participation certificate in any case. If you pass the test, the participation certificate will be supplemented with a corresponding note on the successful completion of the knowledge test.
The online seminars are deliberately designed so that they can be easily completed alongside a career - optionally as an evening or weekend format. So you can integrate the content into your daily life without long absences, benefit from clear, plannable time windows and have enough space for reflection and practice transfer between the dates.
