Lean Green Belt Program
Real ROI. Real Capability. A Real Culture Shift.
Passionate Productivity’s Lean Green Belt program is a hands-on, facilitated transformation, not a classroom course. Over 18 days spread across 5 months, your team applies proven Lean tools directly to your own operations while building the facilitation, leadership and practical AI capabilities needed to lead continuous improvement internally.
Led by John Chaput, a Lean Master Black Belt with over 25 years leading transformations across Canada and internationally, the program combines structured learning with real application in your business.
What You Get
A facilitator on staff, not a consultant on retainer.
Your team learns to lead Kaizens, run 5S and SMED events, map value streams, and reduce cycle times, skills they keep and reuse indefinitely.
A program built around your business, not a textbook.
A structure designed to make it stick.
Spaced across 5 months instead of crammed into one, the program lets new habits take root, supported by dedicated sessions on reinforcement, sponsor accountability, and sustaining results.
AI Fundamentals for Lean & Continuous Improvement
Build practical AI capability alongside your Lean skills. As part of the Green Belt program, participants receive AI Fundamentals training delivered in partnership with Lean Sensei International. You’ll learn how to use today’s AI tools to reduce administrative waste, strengthen problem solving, support Kaizen activities and improve the way teams plan, analyze and communicate.
The training is practical and human-centred. AI supports the work. It does not replace Gemba, judgment, coaching or decision-making.
Lean Improvement Meets Practical AI
Continuous improvement is changing. Today’s facilitators need to know not only how to identify waste and improve processes, but also where AI can help accelerate the work.
Through our partnership with Lean Sensei International, Green Belt participants are introduced to practical, human-centred AI applications designed specifically for Lean and Agile environments.
Delivered in partnership with Lean Sensei International
Participants will learn how to:
Understand AI, chatbots, agents and commonly used AI tools
Recognize AI limitations, including hallucinations, bias and inaccurate outputs
Write better prompts and evaluate AI-generated results
Reduce waste in meetings, documentation, planning and administrative work
Use AI to support Value Stream Mapping, problem solving and Kaizen
Explore AI-supported workflows and automation
Keep human judgment, Gemba, coaching and decision-making at the centre
Key message: Let AI handle more of the wasteful activities and administrative work, so people can spend more time thinking, ideating, coaching, experimenting and improving.
