Kanban - Alternative Path to Agility
Over the last decade, many companies applied Kanban for improve delivery of products and services to customers, to achieve greater collaboration in the workplace, greater customer satisfaction and business agility. At the same time, a global community of Kanban experts, coaches and trainers developed both the method and effective, evidence-based, practical ways to teach it.
Which Class Is Right For Me?
There is no single "the Kanban training class." There are several of them, appropriate for different organizational agendas and proficiency levels.
Kanban has three agendas -- choose the one(s) that matter to you and your company:
Sustainability
The simplest, personal and team-level agenda, getting work organized, less multitasking, relief from overburdening, focus on quality
Service Orientation
The heart of the Kanban method is this difficult agenda, focusing on customers and business results. It is not about teams. It's about managers taking responsibility for delivering products and services to customers. Improve delivery, achieve greater customer satisfaction and business agility.
Survivability
Strategy, risk, identity, long-term survival and success of the enterprise.
TKP
The one-day Team Kanban Practitioner (TKP) class satisfies the Sustainability Agenda.
If this is what you want to achieve with Kanban, this one-day class (10% of the curriculum) is enough.
If you set more ambitious goals of customer satisfaction and business results, go to the KMP curriculum.
KMP I & II
Two two-day classes cover the Service-orientation Agenda:
I recommend that you take KMP II after some period of practice what you learned in KMP I, introducing Kanban systems and running them for some time.
Some people are able to take KMP I and II back-to-back during the same week.
ESP
Enterprise Services Planning (ESP) is a five-day training program. It is broken into modules appropriate for executive, product management and other audiences.
Executive strategy topics are covered largely in the first two days. Quantitative, technical topics are loaded towards the end.
KCP Masterclass
The week-long Kanban Coaching Professional (KCP) Masterclass is the most advanced part of the Kanban curriculum, taught until 2017 only by the Kanban pioneer David J Anderson. Alexei is now one of the handful who can teach it. The Masterclass focuses on the skills of experts, coaches and change agents leading improvement and change in complex situations arising in modern enterprises.

Lean Kanban University Advantage
Lean Kanban University's (LKU) training curriculum and teaching methods were created through collaboration of leading experts and evolved through thousands of training classes and Kanban implementations in many companies in various industries worldwide. This worldwide learning network of Kanban trainers and coaches outlearns and overtakes the smartest individual expert (not to mention do-it-yourselvers). Thus, the Lean Kanban University mark signifies the collective wisdom accumulated over the years: how to approach practical problems, what works, what doesn’t – in the business environment, in the workplace, and in the training room.
Lean A-to-Z Advantage
The number of Accredited Kanban Trainers (AKTs) and Kanban Coaching Professionals (KCPs) is growing worldwide due to the growing popularity of the method and demand for proper training and coaching. This increases the availability of training and coaching services in many regional markets and industries. This is good.
“Kanban training with Alexei” offers additional advantages. Bring their difficult questions and difficult problems and get some practical advice on what to do about them. Alexei a lot of experience with Kanban in various industries industries, such as e-commerce, insurance, software, hardware, and biotechnology. The services “kanbanized” by these companies with his help are as diverse as accounting, clinical research, courseware, sales and marketing, besides software development and IT operations. The teaching is mostly free from assumptions that would only be true in one industry, one type of professional service, in one geographical or cultural context, or for companies of a certain size. Alexei has contributed to the development of the Kanban over the years and continues to do so.
