Many Quebec companies have integrated the main concepts of Lean and are working to intensify their improvement efforts in order to maintain or improve their performance against the competition. However we note that most businesses see the costs associated with implementing best business practices as a major issue for some reason.  Other factors come into play: the active involvement of employees, the support of senior management, the best return on investment (ROI), etc. Training managers on the ground is a simple, inexpensive and effective solution!  Training and coaching managers on the ground are the best investments for an organization.
