2026 Lean & Opex
FACILITATORS SUMMIT
April 23, 2026 |Grande Pointe Events Center
Leading Kaizen Before, During, and After the Event
Organizations invest heavily in Lean and continuous improvement, yet many Kaizen efforts stall because the hardest part isn’t the tools—it’s leading people through resistance, decisions, and follow-through before, during, and after the Kaizen event.
You already know the tools. This summit is about leading change when it gets uncomfortable—before the event, during the pressure, and after the excitement fades.
For Experienced Practitioners Only
This is a one-day, practice-focused working session for Lean, Operational Excellence, and strategy practitioners who facilitate real organizational work—and want to sharpen how they lead Kaizen through the moments that determine success: before, during, and after the event.
Expect peer discussion, real scenarios, practical templates, and immediate takeaways.
