What we do?

Consulting, Mentoring and training in Lean Thinking, business process redesign, change management and leadership.

So what does that mean?

We show you how to use the tools to make a positive step change in your business. Typically, businesses expect to reduce costs by 5-8% through their continuous improvement processes. We'll show you how to achieve and sustain 30-70% gains in cost reduction and productivity. The initial results of a lean transformation are typically realized in 3-6 months. Experience a lean event and witness implementation of those changes in days. Lean principals and tools change the culture of your business and the expectations of your leaders. Many people think of lean as a manufacturing initiative. We show you how it applies to any business and any industry. Lean Manufacturing, Lean Office, Lean Engineering and Design, Lean Health Care, Lean Construction. Lean thinking applies everywhere. We'll show you how to apply it in your business.

How is NBI different?

We bring lean intelligence to your organization. Intelligence is defined as the ability to perceive and understand. That is what a coach and consultant should bring to the client. But beyond understanding, it means the exchange of information, to move forward with that knowledge and ACT on it. That is what a good consultant does, generates ACTION based on observation, analysis and feedback. We work hand in hand with your people to show them how to learn and apply the tools in their work area and sustain those gains through knowledge transfer. We don't provide reports and recommendations that die in the board room. We walk you through a strategy deployment methodology that produces results through action.

How is lean different?

Through introduction of lean thinking, processes become cells, people become teams, and products and services become value streams. Your organization becomes focussed on value as seen by the customer.

What is the approach?

We work with your leadership team to discover lean thinking and introduce the lean tools to the orgainization. We walk you through discovering the current state and help you create a future state vision. We jointly develop a strategy deployment plan that begins the lean transformation in your organization. And we guide you through each step on your lean journey. In the process, you'll strengthen the relationship with your team and develop a continuous improvement culture in your organization.
