What is a Gemba Walk? A gemba walk is a Lean management practice where leaders go to the “real place” where work happens to observe process, identify waste, and find areas for improvement.

This lunchtime webinar introduces Gemba Walks as a simple yet powerful practice for building trust, uncovering opportunities, and guiding teams toward improvement.
