Lean Business Offer Directory of Lean Service Providers

1. Lean Business Offer in brief

Enterprise Ireland’s Lean Business Offer is a programme designed to encourage clients to adopt lean business principles in their organisation to increase competitiveness. The programme is based on 3 levels of intensity as follows:

LeanStart : focus on value This is a short in-company assignment delivered by an external business development consultant, which will introduce lean principles and agile processes and complete a specific cost reduction project. This is an assignment of up to 7 (in company) consultancy days, extending over 8 to 12 weeks.

LeanPlus : performance improvement This is a medium-scale business process improvement project delivered by an external business development consultant. It will result in sustained use by the company of Lean techniques and related methodologies and will achieve significant measurable competitiveness gains. A LeanPlus assignment will typically be not less than 6 months duration.

LeanTransform : business transformation This is an extensive, holistic company transformation programme delivered by an external consultancy team of international reputation. It will embed the culture and competences in the company necessary for on-going competitiveness gains, sustainable continuous improvement and business transformation across the business and its supply chain. LeanTransform assignments will be preceded by a diagnostic evaluation and will typically extend for at least 1 year.

Programme availabilityThis programme is available to Enterprise Ireland clients subject to eligibility as determined by Enterprise Ireland and depending on the client’s existing capability in using Lean business principles, the client size, and their particular business development needs.

2. Directory of Lean Service Providers in brief

The purpose of the directory is to assist Enterprise Ireland clients who wish to participate in the Lean Business Offer to identify a service provider who can demonstrate the necessary expertise and experience to carry out a LeanStart, LeanPlus or LeanTransform assignment. Please ensure you are familiar with the appropriate guidelines for the Lean Business Offer before completing this application.

Clients are wholly responsible for selecting a service provider.

The information provided by a lean service provider in this application should demonstrate the skills and experience of the provider through actual examples of projects the provider has undertaken. While the project examples may not appear on the website, applicants who do not demonstrate capability in particular areas will not be listed against those areas. The website will allow our client companies to search using key categories/areas such as Sector Experience and Business Function/Area. Perusers will also have the facility to search for keywords. For this reason it is important to include key skill/experience words, subsectors or ‘buzz’ words in the Brief Description of Business, particularly in the case where your experience is particularly value adding and relatively unique.

The directory is not an exclusive or exhaustive list of service providers capable of carrying out assignments under the Lean Business Offer.
