LS Lean Consulting

Lean is a continuous improvement methodology which has two key principles:

• Continuous Improvement

• Respect for People

LS Lean Consulting is an accredited Lean training provider and was formed to provide training and support to small businesses who want to ensure that they continue to be efficient and effective.

With rich experience within the Higher Education sector, we are able to apply these principles in a way that will suit the needs of the client, helping to embed a culture of continuous improvement throughout the organisation

What our customers say about us:

"We received the Introduction to Lean session from Linda on the 5th March 2024. This was a great introduction session to Lean for our library team. Linda covered all the main principles in the appropriate amount of detail for an audience with limited existing knowledge, and illustrated the points with lots of useful and relevant examples from HE settings."

"LS Lean Consulting delivered an excellent introduction to the Lean philosophy. The IALS Library team gained knowledge and new approaches to continue delivering excellent value to our Library community"

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Linda through the introduction of Lean thinking who also supported colleagues to gain Green Belts accreditation. Linda brings a rare combination of deep professional expertise, extensive knowledge of Lean methodologies, and a refreshingly pragmatic approach that ensures change feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

What truly sets Linda apart is her warm, approachable style. She creates a safe, open environment where real challenges can be discussed without judgement. This allowed our teams to be honest about what wasn’t working and feel supported in finding better ways forward. Linda’s ability to relate to people at every level—while maintaining a calm, grounded presence—has been invaluable in building trust and momentum.

Her professionalism, clarity, and focus on delivering practical outcomes have made a meaningful difference to the way we work. I’m genuinely grateful for her contribution and would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to implement Lean in a way that is both effective and human."
