LEAN KATA GREEN BELT · TEAM IMPLEMENTATION AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME

Don't send one person on a training course.
Build a team that delivers results.

Typically within 8–12 weeks—or longer if the pace of the project requires it—a team of up to four people completes one project based on a real, strategically important organisational challenge. The team works step by step with a trainer, following the Toyota Kata routine and the PDCA cycle.

Your organisation purchases one project slot—not individual participant places.

1 PROJECT SLOT

Up to 4 people. One project. One price.

The entire team attends the meetings, works on one challenge and presents the final result together.

Regular price

€2,990 / Team

for one project slot for a team of up to 4 people
With 4 participants: €747.50 net per participant.

THE PROGRAMME IN NUMBERS

Lightweight in format. Powerful in results.

Team: up to 4 people

One organisation, one real project and shared responsibility for change.

Typically 8–12 weeks

The same 10 meetings can be spread over a longer period if the pace of experiments or the team’s availability requires it.

10 meetings · 8 hours

A kick-off, eight project sessions and a final project presentation—live with a trainer.

40 hours of materials

A knowledge library used when it is needed at a particular stage.

WHY A TEAM OF UP TO 4 PEOPLE

More perspectives than solo work. Less friction than a large group.

A four-person limit combines different perspectives, shared responsibility and a fast decision-making rhythm—without the coordination cost of a large group.

Individual work

One perspective, a greater risk of the project stalling and more difficulty embedding the change in the organisation.

Small team—up to 4 people

Joint analysis, division of work, mutual verification of hypotheses and project continuity even when one person misses a meeting.

Group of 5+

In a larger group, coordination costs increase and it becomes harder to maintain personal ownership and move quickly from discussion to experiment.

Project design rationale: research on complex problem solving shows that small teams outperform the best individual working alone, while coordination costs increase as team size grows. This is why the programme is limited to four participants. See: Laughlin et al. (2006), Wheelan (2009), Mueller (2012).

10 MEETINGS · 8 HOURS OF TEAMWORK WITH A TRAINER

From challenge to project presentation

Every meeting ends with a decision on the next step. The trainer helps the team think and test—the trainer does not complete the project for the participants.

STAGE 1

Kick-off with the team and sponsor

60 min

Challenge, scope, success measures, team roles and the sponsor’s expectations.

STAGES 2–3

Current condition and target condition

2 × 45 min

Data, direction and a measurable goal.

STAGES 4–9

PDCA experiments

6 × 45 min

Hypotheses, tests, conclusions and next steps.

STAGE 10

Project presentation with the team and sponsor

60 min

Result, evidence, conclusions and the sponsor’s decision on further implementation.

1 h + 8 × 45 min + 1 h = 8 hours of live work
HOW IT WORKS

40 hours of materials. No unnecessary marathon.

The full library is available from the beginning of the programme. The team does not have to work through it from start to finish—it uses specific knowledge when the current stage of the project requires it.

MODULE LIBRARY

Full library available from day one

TPM

Practical module · approx. 30 min

Practical module · approx. 30 min

TWI

40 hours of instructional materials
You select only what the current stage of the project requires.

1. Problem

You start with a real organisational challenge—not a catalogue of tools.

2. Knowledge needed

You use the materials in the context of data, decisions and the current obstacle.

3. Proven result

Value comes from experiments, measurement and a standard—not from the number of hours watched.

THE PROGRAMME ENDS WITH A RESULT

Not just a certificate

FAQ

Frequently asked questions before registering your team

The start date is agreed individually with your organisation. The standard schedule is 8–12 weeks, but the meetings can be spread over a longer period if the pace of experiments or the team’s availability requires it.
Yes. The ten project meetings take place live online with a trainer, and the instructional materials are available between sessions.
No. Your organisation purchases one project slot for €2,990 net for a team of up to four people. With four participants, this is equivalent to €747.50 net per participant.
This is the standard schedule. The same 10 meetings can be spread over a longer period if the pace of experiments or the team’s availability requires it. Additional sessions require a separate agreement.
No. This is the full knowledge library. The team uses selected materials according to the stage and current needs of the project.
The remaining team members continue the project and then share the decisions and next steps with that person. The team model provides greater continuity than relying on a single participant.
It is worth coming with a potential challenge. We clarify its importance, scope, measures and roles during the kick-off with the team and sponsor.
The Leantrix / Optimum Lean Kata Green Belt certificate requires completion and presentation of the project and fulfilment of the programme requirements. The ILSSI Lean Green Belt certificate requires a passing result in the ILSSI exam.
