IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lean Enterprise Institutes 2012 Conference Will Focus on How Collaborative LearningAccelerates Continuous Improvement

The annualLean Transformation Summithighlights best practices for sharing continuousimprovement resources and experiences.

Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 11, 2012 Lean learning-based groups go by different names consortium, network, partnership but all apply the same powerful strategy of collaborativelearning to help members get better business results from their lean transformations.

How to apply the lessons learned by companies that are sharing continuous improvementresources and experiences through collaborative learning groups is the theme of the 2012 LeanTransformation Summit, sponsored by the nonprofit Lean Enterprise Institute.

The Summit is set for March 7-8 at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, Jacksonville, FL.Preconference workshops run March 5-6. Registration is open now athttp://www.lean.org/Events/2012_lean_transformation_summit.cfm

Join Lean ThinkersIf you want how-to tips from lean practitioners who are using collaborative learning to sustainimprovements, develop associates and leaders, fully leverage learning-by-doing, or buildcredibility for culture change, then please make plans today to join fellow Lean Thinkers inJacksonville, said Rachel Regan, LEI director of lean events and community support.

Regan noted thats last years summit sold out quickly because it has a track record of deliveringquality information in a unique format that complements in-depth learning. In plenary sessions,executives describe business cases for lean transformations. In subsequent breakout sessions,implementers from the same companies follow up to provide details about the methodologiesused, obstacles overcome, and results achieved.

And LEIs limited attendance policy means everyone has time for post-presentation discussionsor follow-up questions.
