Gemba Guides supports organisations in their Lean Journeys. We build sustainable capability through the conception of lean business strategies based on each unique organisational situation. The rigour of our approach is underpinned by our unparalleled depth of experience in Toyota Management Practices. We also bring the ability to execute strategies with a human centred coaching & mentoring capability that resonates to all levels within an organisation. • Gemba: "The place where value is added and the truth revealed" • Guides: "To light the paths of your Lean journey" Researchers, Womack, Jones and Roos coined the term “Lean” to describe Toyota’s revolutionary management processes in their 1990 book “The Machine that Changed the World”. Since then, “Lean” has become the dominant signature of a movement based on Toyota practices. These are now being applied wherever customer value is created - in Manufacturing, Healthcare, Financial Services, Government, Retail, Hospitality and more. We understand that being a believer in lean thinking is fundamental, but that the pathway to operationalise it into a self sustaining culture is more difficult. Many consultants offer solution to just about every problem, but focusing on basic tools and picking low hanging fruit can ultimately send and organisation backwards if a deep understanding and holistic approach is not taken. At Gemba Guides, we use our many years of deep experience, the source of lean thinking itself, [Toyota] to guide organisation to deliver benefits to all stakeholders and ultimately the broader community and society in general. We think of ourselves as Guides rather than Consultants, as our approach is based on it being the clients journey, built on their own capability.
