Here’s a paradox for all you lean trainers. Lean trainers teach kaizen, continuous improvement, yet how often do they improve their own training procedures? In this presentation, you’ll find out how to continuously improve your lean training.

1. The Lean Trainer’s
Paradox

2. You teach
kaizen,
continuous
improvement

3. own training
procedures?
Yet when did you last improve your

4. 1.
Recognize this?
▧ You’ve been teaching for years
▧ It’s a routine
▧ Your trainees consistently rate your
training very highly

5. 2.
Then maybe you're here:

6. 3.
(Stuck at a local optimum)

7. You are on top of a nice
hill
In other words...

8. But you could
be here
instead

9. So how do you get here?

10. ALWAYS BE TESTING
Keep improving your training based on
continuous measurements

11. 1.
Have your trainees
evaluate your lean training
▧ Kirkpatrick’s level 1: primary reaction
▧ Happy sheets
▧ Questionnaires (use lms)

12. 2.
Test if they memorized
lean concepts
▧ Kirkpatrick’s level 2: learning
▧ Online tests (use lms)
▧ Ask trainees to come up with a mini
case study (test comprehension)

13. 3.
How are they applying
their training on the job?
▧ Kirkpatrick’s level 3: transfer of
training
▧ Traditionally: assessments
▧ Put the theory online, measure usage
of sources and references (use lms)

14. A/B Testing
(Only applicable when you’re training large
numbers of lean consultants)
1. Each new trainee is randomly assigned
to either old training A or new one, B.
2. Test transfer of training for both sets
in exactly the same way.
3. Go with best performing training.
