Lesson Descriptions 

Lesson 1: Lean Basic Concepts: In this lesson, we'll explore the five principles of Lean thinking and Lean anti-patterns. As both Lean and value stream mapping are about improving flow, we'll examine ways to make work flow and common barriers to flow. We'll conclude this lesson by comparing value stream mapping to traditional continual improvement techniques and look at situations where they're both appropriate and how they work together. 

Lesson 2: Value Stream Key Concepts: In this lesson, we'll introduce value stream key concepts. You will learn what a value stream is, how to identify value streams and how value streams integrate with processes. We'll explore the anatomy of a value stream and describe each of its key components. We'll conclude this lesson by describing key value stream metrics and ways to gather and use data when getting started with a value stream mapping initiative.  

Lesson 3: Value Stream Mapping Key Concepts: In this lesson, we'll introduce value stream mapping key concepts. You'll learn what value stream mapping is and the benefits or the why of this technique. We'll introduce value stream mapping roles and deliverables and we'll explore each step in the value stream mapping process. Lessons are devoted to producing current state and target future state value stream maps as well as the transformation plan that's needed to achieve the target future state. We'll conclude this lesson by briefly introducing the emerging value stream management discipline.

Lesson 4: Managing the Change: In this lesson, you'll learn what culture is and how value stream mapping and the improvements that flow from it can represent significant culture change for organizations. We'll introduce organizational change management and the components of an organizational change management program. We'll talk about the important role that leadership plays in managing the cultural and organizational change that flows from a value stream mapping initiative and we'll describe the characteristics of a transformational leader. We'll conclude this lesson by describing the characteristics of a learning organization, how to foster a learning culture and the importance of lifelong learning.
