Congratulations Lean Leader and Lean Director!

This week, we would like to congratulate two Executive Lean certification achievements, Chad for achieving Executive Lean Leader status and Kam for moving up to the second highest level of Executive Lean certification, Lean Director.

Lean Sensei's Executive Lean certification umbrellas several specialized courses in lean, with each course carrying a different weight with regards to executive credits. See our website for more details.
