“I conducted a lot of research before embarking on the journey of becoming Lean Certified. The selection of offerings came down to a US university and the Leading Edge Group (Lean Empowerment). The university offering was a certificate-based program that focused on the concepts of Lean but only through a manufacturing perspective. I chose the Leading Edge Group because they offered a certification in Lean and focused on healthcare examples and perspectives. I also really liked the ability that it gave me to ask questions to the mentors, which I found are located all over the world. What a way to find out what others are doing, without taking one step away from your computer! I have completed all of the modules and through the experience, have gathered ideas, forms, best practices, new friends, and networking and, even better, a sincere appreciation for what Lean can do for healthcare."
