Genentech Fall Module One Kickoff



Last week, we were introduced to a fresh new group of Greenbelt participants from Genentech! The class kicked off with an introduction to Lean and some icebreakers to warm up and promote team-building. 









After attending an intensive 2-day lecture, the participants set off to test out their newly learned knowledge in the real world by working on assigned target areas.










Success!! We are excited to see what else is in store in Module 2, stay tuned to find out more!

Genentech Summer Greenbelt Graduation

It is great to see our Summer class of Genentech Greenbelts finally graduate! Although it was a busy week filled with final presentations and exams, each participant pulled through and successfully graduated with big smiles and a new mindset. Now, they are equipped with the essential knowledge and the right attitude to enter their workplace and transform those around them.






















A huge congratulations once again, we are very proud of nurturing each and every one of you for the last 3 months.

Lean Sensei International hosts the 2016 Lean Summit


Mark your calendars!
