What is a Lean Practitioner?

These part-time resources carry the language of Lean deeper into the organization. They support and sometimes lead smaller-scale projects, and also assist Lean Leaders and Lean Masters with team activities and tool application. Lean Practitioners become local advocates for continuous improvement and problem-solving and accelerate the number of employees positively affected by Lean.
