Gain the lean advantage other enterprise-level organisations have achieved through our transformative assessment and programme design. We work with a network of diverse agilists because a one-size-fits-all approach really means one-size-fits-nobody. We aren’t tied to a particular methodology, freeing us to help you find the approach that will work for your organisation.

Training

Lean Advantage founder Andrea Darabos is pictured facilitating a training session. She is leaning over a group of students who are writing on a large piece of paper.

On its own or combined with our consulting services, levelling up team skills to deliver better products quickly and reliably is often the best place to start. No boring lectures here. Our classes are fun, energising, and interactive, using techniques that make learning practical. We offer virtual and in- person private and public training to fit your needs.

  • "Andrea introduced Agile processes into our complex, distributed, multi-vendor environment. Her hands-on and pragmatic approach, combined with her understanding of the commercial and technical side of the business, was very helpful. Her day-to-day coaching allowed the team to implement best practices, and the training laid our foundation."

    - Nikolai Strasdig, Head of Product Management at Vodafone Global

  • "We worked with Lean Advantage to deliver Agile Mindset sessions to our senior management and deployment teams. They made it easy to co-create customised materials that fit our business alongside general best practices and the agile framework. I hope to engage Lean Advantage again as we continue to learn and adapt."

    - Andrea Trickett, Head of Portfolio Management, Portfolio Oversight Strategic Services | GPB&W Business Management Services, HSBC UK

  • "Andrea coached and trained our mid-management services team in Lean and Six Sigma over ten months in our UK, US, and Hong Kong offices. She also developed and delivered Lean training to our global executive team. The training offered an excellent introduction to the core principles and involved many lively discussions and games. Andrea has an approachable and professional delivery style."

    - Andrew Gray, Director of IT Strategy and Delivery, MediaKind UK

  • "Andrea and Ryan facilitated the workshop without making me feel “lectured.” I really enjoyed this approach as it was based on active dialogue with the group. Both are very knowledgeable and at the same time, didn’t have the “I know best/all” attitude. With their open and friendly personalities, they built an instant relationship, and I felt comfortable sharing and learning with others."

    - Martin Schillig, Training Participant
