Lean Methods Group

Lean Methods Group

Lean Methods Group is a global management consulting firm specializing in the application of highly collaborative and methodical approaches to business performance improvement. Our business model is simple: we apply Lean methodologies to all aspects of our client's business. Through our portfolio of Strategy, Innovation, Performance Excellence and Data Analytics methods, we help you solve today's toughest problems while building your team's capabilities so you can sustain success and drive change tomorrow. When we bring your people and our people together, anything is possible.

The Lean Methods Group was formed in late 2016. However, our roots run long and deep with over 17 years of experience. Joined by dozens of his former colleagues from Breakthrough Management Group (BMGI), David Silverstein founded Lean Methods to be a leaner and more focused firm.

Today, through hands-on collaborations with our clients and based on years of research and experience, we apply the top Lean methods and problem solving tools to the creation and execution of business strategy across a wide range of industries, geographies and organizations.

We are 50 people with clients in more than a dozen countries. Our offices around the world deliver a comprehensive portfolio of Strategy, Innovation, Performance Excellence and Change Management services. With a deep commitment to working side-by-side with our clients to solve tough problems and achieve big outcomes, our experienced professionals thrive on teaching, coaching and succeeding together.

Underpinning everything we do are the skills we forged as a Lean and Six Sigma leader. We excel in the practical side of strategy — making sure you have clear direction and goals while ensuring those goals are truly achievable. We have found that this discipline is often the missing link between strategy success and failure.

The methodical nature of everything we do is critical to achieving true collaboration. Without methodologies, your people cannot quickly learn to work side-by-side with ours, they cannot learn new skills in the process and, most importantly, improvements are much less likely to be sustained after we are gone. By participating in the development of improvements, ideas and strategy, the acceptance of change becomes inherent in the process since the solution belongs to your people, not ours.

All methodologies employed by the Lean Methods Group are selected and honed for speed. In many respects, they are all Lean methodologies, which is where we derive our name. Among these methodologies are: Lean Six Sigma, Lean, Lean Startup, Lean Strategy Creation, Lean Strategic Planning (Hoshin Planning), Rapid Innovation, Rapid Replication, Lean Agile and Lean Analytics.
