Cut the Noise. Fix the Flow. Transform Your Business.

This isn’t a “growth hack” webinar.

This is about saving time and money using Lean, for real businesses.

If you’re a small or micro business that’s fed up with firefighting, stuck in chaos, or struggling to scale without burning out — this is for you.

Easier, Better, Faster. Together. is an almost fully funded Lean programme supported by the Local Enterprise Office Dublin that helps real businesses like yours eliminate wasted time, effort, and money — so you can finally run a business that works for you.

✅ What You’ll Get in the Free Intro Workshop (September 4th)

From 9:30 to 11:30 AM, join our no-jargon, zero-fluff  Lean workshop built on the ideas of  Lean Thinking, & how Small Changes can have a Big Impact!

 You’ll learn:

  • What Lean really is (hint: it’s not about consultants and charts)
  • Why small changes beat big overhauls — every time
  • The 8 wastes killing your time, profits, and sanity
  • How real Irish businesses have used Lean to cut costs and simplify everything

 You’ll also meet the coaches — people who’ve worked hands-on with thousands of small Irish businesses, not textbook theorists.

🧭 What Happens After the Workshop?

If you see the value and want to go further, eligible businesses can apply for Phase 2 — a heavily subsidised Lean coaching engagement.

That means:

  • A professional Lean coach works directly with your business for up to 5 x ½ Days
  • Identify hidden costs, wasted motion, overprocessing, and delays
  • Build improvements you can sustain (without needing a PhD or a full-time project manager)
  • Practical, actionable, and tailored to your operation

🎯 Who’s This For?

  • Small and micro business owners in Dublin
  • Owners who are busy, stretched, and ready to work smarter
  • Those who want to simplify operations, improve cash flow, and reduce overwhelm
  • Anyone tired of “strategy sessions” that lead nowhere

This is not for you if:

  • You want a quick marketing trick
  • You’re only chasing sales and don’t care how the business actually runs
  • You’re not willing to try simple changes and measure real outcomes

Spots are limited. This is a free session but places fill up fast — and it’s the only way into the full programme.

 

Real Lean. Real Change. No Buzzwords.

Join us. Make your business Easier. Better. Faster. Together.

💡 What Happens After the Workshop?
