Professor Zoe Radnor and Sarah Lethbridge (confirmed)

“A masterclass in lean”

Main Sponsor
Cameron Turner (confirmed)
Managing Director, Lean Consulting
“Don't implement lean! (unless you're willing to tackle the followingÂ…)”
Lean is a simple collection of tools and techniques that help an organisation improve all aspects of performance. It is the culmination of over 150 years of operational insight and excellence. It's not a complicated formula or a set of intricate activities, it's a simple and pragmatic understanding that has been continuously refined.
If it's so simple, why aren't more organisations talking about the success they've had with lean? Why is it that some organisations really struggle implementing lean, or fail to deliver the benefits that lean promises?
In this session we'll explore some of the common reasons why lean fails and what can be done to ensure lean is successfully deployed in your department or organisation.

Martin Chown (confirmed)
Director of Government Procurement Projects, Government Procurement Service
“Transforming the Government Procurement Service through the application of lean”
The Government Procurement Service has the triple task of substantially reducing its headcount whilst dramatically increasing its public sector business and delivering huge cash savings. Lean is a key means to achieve this and is proving a great success. This case study shows how, in a time of rapid change, through staff involvement in lean, one can deliver exceptional results and increased staff motivation.
