PMA Southern New England Lean Progression Presentation & Dinner

Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Cheshire, CT

PMA Southern New England invites you to attend a presentation on lean progression with Bill Greider of P4 Lean Strategy and a networking dinner.

Lean Progression: Kickstarting Your Journey to Excellence

The session will be focused on the foundational principles of lean methodology and how organizations can embark on their lean journey.

Key takeaways will include:

• Lean implementation is challenging – failure rates range between 50-90%, but success is possible with the right approach.
• The concepts are simple, yet execution requires commitment and persistence.
• The benefits are massive, leading to efficiency, cost savings and improved quality.
• Lean is the ultimate growth strategy, providing a structured approach to continuous improvement.
• Think of it as life insurance for your business – ensuring resilience and long-term sustainability.

The session will conclude with actionable advice tailored to attendees’ industries, reinforcing that lean is a flexible framework, not a rigid system, allowing for adaptation based on specific organizational needs. Bring a notebook!
