This course will guide you through the whole process of LEAN improvement methods and show you how to implement a continuous improvement cycle. Understanding LEAN business processes is a key driver in improving business performance at any level.
In this course, we will teach you the ProPeC Simple Improvement Process, which takes state-of-the-art business improvement principles and lays them out in a very simple-to-understand step-by-step process. You will understand and learn how to run a current state analysis of your business processes that will enable you to identify key areas of improvement.
You will also learn how to tie improvements to high-end business goals, so that they meet core business objectives. Identifying and implementing an action plan is a key component of strong change management and you will be shown how to do this in this course.
Maybe you need help running efficient business meetings; in this course, we take you through the process of setting up a meeting that achieves its end goal. By the time you have completed this course, you will know how to review a continuous improvement project and indeed lead a team through that project.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
