What is Lean 360
Lean 360 is a joint initiative supporting Medair, a Swiss-based humanitarian NGO saving lives and relieving human suffering in the world’s most difficult-to-reach and devastated places; NGOs who are part of NetHope, an IT-focused consortium of NGOs; and ITC Quality Champion programs in developing countries.
Lean 360 aims to connect experienced Lean practitioners with Quality Champions promoting Lean in small and medium enterprises (SME) in developing countries and with Continuous Improvement Champions promoting Lean in non-profit organizations around the world.
One hour of your time can impact a few and that few can impact the world.
The Lean 360º cause is a great way of sharing your experiences while indirectly impacting children’s lives. It brought me satisfaction being able to help such a great cause! I would definitely do it again.

All Lean coaching is provided pro bono (at no cost) and virtually.
