What Comes in the CI Toolkit

Choose from hundreds of courses and expert articles, and have one of our expert instructors monitor your progress and offer guidance as you work towards your goals.

01

Forms & Terms

We currently have 35 stand-alone forms, 6 PDF Checklists from the CI Development System, and several additional forms contained within courses.

With the CI Toolkit for Leaders, you'll have the forms & tools you need to start putting CI tools into action immediately.

02

CI Development System

You'll get nearly all of the CI Development System to start building a robust Business Management System and CI Culture right away. There is some additional content available only in the Program Leader Add-on Toolkit (editable checklists with PL instructions, and Phase 7 content.)

03

Training System Modules

You will get access to the new Velaction Training System modules as they are released, as well as the existing (legacy) Lean Training System modules.

You'll have all the information you need to develop a solid foundation of continuous improvement skills.

04

Training System Leader's Guides

We are rolling out our Velaction Training System Leader's guides as quick as we can. These will include our PowerPoint presentations in an online slideshow format so you can teach the courses on your own. You'll also get instructions on how to teach each slide.

05

CI Reference Guide

The Continuous Improvement Companion is the most massive CI reference guide we've ever seen. It has over 700 terms in it, and most contain far more than just a simple definition. You'll find detailed discussions, frontline notes, leader notes, next steps, key points, words of warnings, audio terms, and more.

06

Books and Tutorials

Jeff Hajek's book, Whaddaya Mean I Gotta Be Lean? as well as a few detailed tutorials are available to you. Our 'Structuring Standard Work' guide is particularly useful in creating top-notch processes.

07

Building Brick Exercise Instructions

We've got 3 great Building Brick Training Kits in our catalog. (Lean Flow Simulation, 5S & Visual Controls, and Poka Yoke/Mistake Proofing.) We've added instructions here so you can prepare for training even if someone else is using the kit.

08

CI Video Series

We have a handful of video series that cover a variety of concepts. These are generally stand-alone focused concepts rather than lessons that might be included in a series of lessons in a course.

09

"How To" Guides

We have a few of these already available. They are generally going to be treated like growing tools. As we develop new instructions or tips, we'll add them in. Some are step-by-step lessons (i.e. our Policy Deployment guide), and some are a collection of tips (i.e. our guide on using Excel in CI).

10

Exercises

We have a great trivia style game that mimics a popular gameshow style format. We also have a Lean office flow training tool. You'll need the forms (available separately or in the Program Leader Add-on Toolkit), but they can be shared within the company.

11

Ramblings of a CI Coach

Sometimes we just come up with ideas and want to share them. This is where we do that.

How You Can Use Your Membership

Gain Skills

Complete the training on your own to gain a far better understanding of continuous improvement.

Use the CI Tools

Use the forms & resources, and the "how to" information to make use of the tools you need to power your CI efforts.

Develop Your Team

Play training in classrooms, at stand up meetings, or just-in-time to educate your team on precisely what they need to accomplish.

Chart Your Course

Use the CI Development System to create your custom path to organizational excellence.

Use Cases

Build a Library of Continuous Improvement Forms & Tools

We've got 35 standard forms, a handful more contained within courses, and a half dozen PDF checklists from our CI Development System.
You'll also get information on how to use these forms, much of it in the form of videos. Watch them to learn on your own, or play videos for your team.

Support Your Kaizen Projects

Create a playlist for your team. Get a bulk membership to get them all access, or play the videos for them in a classroom. If the kaizen team leader has an account, it is a great tool to teach members just in time. Need to clarify something about poka yoke? Play a video. Want to reinforces training on Standard Work? Grab an iPad and play a video right in the work area.

And, of course, you can create your own curriculum and do training before a project.

Create a Roadmap to Build a Business Management System

The CI Toolkit for Leaders can be used to chart your course in building a Business Management System and CI Culture.

Add in the CI Program Leader Toolkit, and have even more tools in your kit.

Teach Your Team...Wherever

With our versatile system, you can play videos for your team in a classroom, hit them with a 5 minute video at a stand-up meeting, or play a specific 'how to' lesson right as you are giving them instructions on what to do. With your phone in your pocket, you are never without your training.

Get Answers Immediately

Answers are never far away. Start with our MASSSSSSSSIVE reference guide, the Continuous Improvement Companion, and great information about CI topics--detailed information--is never far away.
And, of course, if you need more information, we've got that to within our courses.

Learn Randomly

Sometimes, unstructured learning is the best path to knowing what to learn. Wander around our content, and expand your knowledge base. The more you know, the more you'll find out you don't know. And that awareness will drive a thirst to learn more.

Create a Learning Program

Use our content like Legos. Create a curriculum and assign people to complete our courses. We are always adding and improving our content, so you'll be able to keep challenging your team.

If you add in the CI Program Leader's Toolkit, you'll also have access to PowerPoint presentations, downloadable exercises, quizzes, student guides, and more.

Want to add even more? Grab our Lego training kits, and really get your team engaged. 

There really aren't a lot of limits on how you can use the CI Toolkit for Leaders.
