10 years ago,2015, a little revolution started. 23 businesses across seven LEOs went on a Lean for Micro pilot in a collaboration between LEOs and Enterprise Ireland, to see if Lean can work in micro and small enterprise, not just large businesses, to see if they could work across all sectors, not just manufacturing. 10 years later, over 3000 Lean projects have been carried out across all 31 LEOs who passionately support Lean in their clients. Helping their clients to become more efficient, effective, productive, profitable and better places to work. Bualadh bos to all the LEOs and their clients, local heroes bringing prosperity to our communities. Next week is Enterprise Week, where the LEOs showcase all their brilliant supports for businesses can avail off to help build better businesses. https://lnkd.in/ees9MPWW
