About This Course

Did you know that 20% of all businesses fail within their first year and only 50% make it to year five? If the processes in your business aren’t as effective or efficient as they can be, you’re not only reducing your profitability, you’re also doing a disservice to both your customers and your entire organization. Lean Management is an approach that seeks to eliminate any waste in a business process by cutting out steps that don’t create value. Waste can mean delays, working on features you don’t need, keeping too much inventory, or mistakes you have to fix.

Effective lean management will help you increase the value of whatever you provide, pass the savings onto your customers and improve their satisfaction, therefore increasing their lifetime value, and also create a massive following of brand evangelists who religiously promote everything your company has to offer.

In this course, we’ll cover:

  • What lean management is and how to make it work for your organization
  • How to effectively lead and improve your team using lean principles
  • Eliminating unnecessary tasks and delays in your production process
  • Reducing mistakes, overproduction, and over-processing caused by your workflow
  • Mapping out, analyzing, and optimizing your own process
  • How to improve your team using lean principles
  • What it takes to build a lean culture within your organization

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to apply lean principles and create teams that thrive by eliminating waste, maximizing customer value, and developing their workers into highly skilled and motivated teams.

Hi, I'm Evan Kimbrell. Thanks for checking out my course. **My courses have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, BusinessInsider, BuzzFeed, Mashable, TheNextWeb, The Daily Beast, & Techcrunch** Currently, I'm the Founder and Director of Sprintkick, a full-service, referral-only digital agency based out of San Francisco. Over the past four years I've overseen the development and launch of over 100 web and mobile apps. Clients range from two-man bootstrapping startups to multibillion dollar Fortune 100s like Wal-Mart, Dick's Sporting Goods, and GNC. Prior to Sprintkick I worked as a VC for a new firm called Juvo Capital, based out of L.A. I spearheaded the firm's expansion into Silicon Valley and into the Consumer Web tech category. In the long long ago, I was a co-founder for an educational software startup called ScholarPRO that raised a ton of money and then spectacularly blew up (in the bad way). Before it exploded like the Death Star, I went through five tech incubators (yes, five): Tech Stars, Excelerate Labs, MassChallenge, Babson Venture Program, and Sparkseed.
