Our Approach

Who We Are

The 7 Rivers Lean Consortium is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to spreading lean principles throughout every public and private sector industry in the 7 Rivers Region.

We firmly believe that by educating others about lean principles and tools, we can help make the 7 Rivers Region the best place in the country to run a business, raise a family, and earn a decent living.

Our focus is on education, networking, and sharing best practices. We host annual lean symposiums, and arrange gemba walks to 7 Rivers Region organizations.
