LEAN THINKING

Pioneering executives and managers are applying the principles of lean Thinking to business processes across the enterprise to improve competitiveness and accelerate growth. Lean thinking has begun transforming businesses throughout the world just as it has been transforming manufacturing processes for decades. John Shook has been one of the principle catalysts in this transformation. Those who have heard him speak always want to hear more. After his unique experience with Toyota in Japan and the USA, John has become a world leading expert with an unrivalled ability to give us new insights into the total Lean management approach.

The Fourth Summit will provide two days of thought-provoking keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and the industry's best networking. There's no better way to forge new relationships, learn from pioneers/veterans, learn what's new, and gain new perspectives no matter where you are on your lean journey.

The lean journey should not be taken alone; bring a colleague from operations, supply chain, sales and marketing to hear together and learn together. It is an excellent way to get your team all on the same page.

Presentations and Workshops
In addition to presentations and workshops conducted by our keynote speakers John Shook, John Toussaint and Dave Brunt the Fourth Summit will feature presentations and workshops conducted by Tony McNaughton and Peter Walsh of Lean Enterprise Australia, Michael White of Rio Tinto, Professor David Ben Tovim of Flinders Medical Centre and practitioners from NAB, Qantas and other Australian companies.
