Study-Action Teams™

Developed by colleagues at Lean Project Consulting Study-Action Teams (SAT) use other people’s learning – often in the form of a book – as the basis for thinking about what they do, what they want to be different and developing a strategic change agenda.

SATs are a great way to kick start a lean transformation or a project because they help align aspirations.

There are standard work methods for:

1. reading the book
   

2. discussing the key points and their relevance to the readers’ organisation or project
   

3. agreeing the strategic change agenda for the organisation or project
