A partnership between Lean and Evidence-Based Design can transform your project outcomes. This integrated approach ensures you’re beginning with research and data collection to uncover the true why for the project, the root cause of issues in the current design and/or process and generating informed solutions to evaluate. Involving all stakeholders (subject matter experts, designers and implementers) from the beginning promotes a more inclusive decision-making process and better outcomes than with a traditional, siloed approach. Maximizing value to the customer, eliminating waste, and continuous improvement are at the core of Lean, while improving safety and quality are at the core of evidence-based design.
You will leave with tools and resources that can be applied on your next project.
