How to Create and Use an A3Designed for groups of corporate users

This course is for...

Anyone who manages projects.  From complete beginners to experienced corporate project sponsors.

It took expert eyes, an expert mind and the solid, practical tools you gave us, to point this out.  

The synthesis you designed to explore just where we were investing vis à vis the return helped us visualize exactly where needed to focus. In our case, it took expert eyes, an expert mind and the solid, practical tools you gave us, to point this out – the analysis we did together as well as your encouragement has had instant impact and very positive results in a short time. Psychologically we feel much more in control. With no remorse, we have eliminated certain projects and put others on the back burner.

Our approach to problem solving and time management is much more pragmatic and structured. Thank you for your presence and the sincere interest you showed for our future and the well being of our company.

Course description

Introduction: A3’s are staples of the Lean toolbox for knowledge workers.  An A3 is literally a large piece of paper (two letter-size pieces of paper joined vertically in size) on which you plan your project.  The paper is divided into sections and each section contains the nuggets of information that, together, form the entire project.  An A3 provides a frameword and understanding of everything from why you are doing the project to how to roll it out.  It is a compact, extremely effective way of establishing the various project elements and boundries.

Within one hour, your team will understand the basics of creating an A3 and will be able to construct their own in the following hour.
