Lean Innovation & Coaching Training

Build lasting internal capability — teaching your people to approach challenges, coach each other, and drive continuous improvement independently.

What It Is

Learn. Coach. Sustain.

The most powerful transformation is one your team can sustain without a consultant. Lean Innovation & Coaching Training teaches your people how to approach business challenges, develop and support employee coaching, and build customized improvement programs tailored to your organization's culture and goals.

Programs are designed for all levels — from frontline supervisors learning A3 problem-solving to senior leaders developing coaching and mentoring practice. We transfer deep domain knowledge through hands-on learning: simulations, real Kaizen events, and live coaching scenarios.

Jim Garrick is a Certified Harada Instructor, bringing world-class goal-setting and self-reliance methodology into every training program. Participants leave not just knowing the tools — they know how to use them under pressure and how to teach others.

How It Works

The Training Framework

01
Needs Assessment

We assess your team's current capability level, identify knowledge gaps, and define targeted learning objectives aligned to your business challenges.

02
Custom Curriculum Design

Programs are tailored to your industry, team level, and goals — not off-the-shelf. Content draws from Lean, Six Sigma, Harada Method, and innovation frameworks.

03
Hands-On Delivery

Learning happens by doing — simulations, real Kaizen events, live coaching practice, and structured A3 problem-solving in your actual work environment.

04
Coaching Certification

Participants are equipped to coach others — turning individual training into an organizational multiplier that grows your capability long after the engagement ends.

What You Gain

Capability That Compounds

Internal Problem-Solvers

Coaching Culture

Leaders learn to develop their teams through structured coaching conversations — creating a culture of continuous growth and accountability.

Customized Programs
