A unique way of training in Finland
We utilise modern teaching methods, the latest digital technologies and unique game simulation. We have combined theory with practical examples, group work, discussions, refresher exercises and an extensive simulation. Learning is also supported by a comprehensive digital learning environment. There is also plenty of time for practical applications in the participants' own environment.
1. Make a Lean project already during training
We have developed a new way of learning together with an international games supplier. We replaced the relatively short manual simulations commonly used in Lean training with an extensive digital multiplayer simulation that is more in line with reality. In our simulation, participants have a company. Each participant has a role to play in the company and a process to improve together. The process improvement in the game simulation is a Lean project shared by the participants.
The simulation is divided into multiple rounds. During each round, a lot of data is collected, which is utilized for process improvement. After each round, the situation is analyzed. The improvements decided by the team are immediately implemented into the simulation process. The game simulation is played every training day. The simulation progresses concurrently with the theory during the training, allowing the learned methods to be practiced immediately in a concrete process.
At the end of the training, the project of the game simulation is completed, and participants receive a clear, self-experienced example for future reference, documented in a ready-made project template. This template can also be used in their own projects.
The simulation is also a fun team exercise that nicely lightens the training.

2. User-friendly training material
In addition to contact days, the training includes extensive training material in a digital learning environment. The material is structured according to the Lean project steps of our training. Theory, models, videos, ready-made templates, tasks, discussions, etc. are integrated into these Lean steps in the learning environment.
The content of the learning platform supports contact teaching, enables varied learning and frees up more time for practice and advanced learning during training days. The learning platform also makes it easier to prepare for training and use the material in your own projects after the training.

3. Certified Trainer and "Leanified" Training
Our trainer in Finland is certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt DI Marja Jaatinen-van der Harst. Marja has more than 20 years of experience in applying Lean and Lean Six Sigma from international companies to SMEs in manufacturing, various service sectors and the public sector.
We also train in a Lean way. By focusing only on the essentials, using effective teaching methods, extensive support materials in the learning environment and experienced Master Black Belt certified trainers, we can deliver effective, inspiring and compact trainings.
4. Tailor-made training for the service sector
If you work in the service industry, we recommend that you attend a training group tailored to the service industry. For this group, we have selected specific examples and exercises from the service sector.
