The University of Regina’s and the University of Waterloo’s Lean/Continuous Improvement (CI) communities have launched the Lean HE Canada network to provide university and college Lean/CI practitioners and those interested with an opportunity to network and share best practices in the higher education sector to meet the demand of Lean/CI in Canada.
The Canadian network aligned with the goals of the Americas division will provide members opportunities to share best practices and emerging techniques that will support service improvement across their organization. The network is led jointly by the University of Waterloo and the University of Regina. The core objective of the Canadian network is to build a community of like-minded individuals to expand knowledge and tools of CI/lean across Canadian higher education institutions while building strong, collaborative relationships.
