The Lean Academy Portugal is a nonprofit research, education and publishing LGN Affiliate with the goal of spreading Lean thinking and practice throughout the Portuguese community of professionals. Through several partnerships with leading Portuguese universities, companies and other non-profit organizations, we have created different ways to develop our community. Some examples are the: Lean Foundation Program for Universities, the Post-Graduation Lean Practitioner Certification and the Portugal Lean Summits.

New areas of research will be developed, with incursions on how to teach and apply Lean Thinking to the Junior Schools and to the High schools. Specific Chapters are to be created, to deep dive on clusters of the society, such IT, Construction and Healthcare.

Lean Academy Portugal has a simple Mission: ‘Help spreading the Lean Thinking and the Lean Knowledge in Portugal’.
