From Training to Transformation, in Renewables

From Training to Transformation, in Renewables

Over 320 staff across 13 countries trained, 75% framework adoption and more than 6,500+ hours saved annually, these headline results demonstrate how a two-phase approach to transformation delivers lasting impact in the Renewables sector. By first equipping teams with Lean and Agile tools and then activating a culture of continuous improvement, organisations can turn classroom learning into real-world gains.


The Challenge, Reimagined


Many Renewables businesses struggle with knowledge gaps and disconnected teams. Leaders recognise the value of Lean and Agile practices yet lack a structured way to spread those skills beyond initial workshops. Improvement efforts often stall in silos, slowing decision-making and squandering opportunities for efficiency and innovation.


Phase 1, Building Internal Capability


The journey begins with targeted, SQA-accredited training programmes, our SCQF Level 9 Business Transformation and Level 7 Lean Practitioner courses. Participants dive into interactive simulations, understanding leaderships role in transformation, workplace organisation using 5S, daily huddles and campaign room coordination, to name a few. They emerge certified practitioners with practical toolkits for orchestrating change. Post-course (optional) coaching ensures those skills take root, guiding teams through real-world application and reinforcing new ways of working.




Phase 2, Activating an Engaged Culture


Graduates become catalysts for cultural change. Across multiple sites, teams launch daily huddles around visual management boards, surfacing issues before they escalate and develop shared ownership of safety and performance. Cross-functional campaign rooms become live command hubs where engineers, operations and safety experts collaborate to solve complex challenges in real time. Employee-led Kaizen events uncover quick-win improvements, proving that small, focused events yield significant results when owned by empowered teams.


Real-World Outcomes & Voices


These combined efforts delivered transformative results:


  • 75% of staff adopted new frameworks consistently


  • 6,500 to 7,400 hours saved each year, equating to a value of over £460,000


  • 90% of participants would recommend the new methods to colleagues


One senior operations manager reflected:


“Seeing teams across three continents run huddles and Kaizen events as second nature proved that we’d truly shifted from one-off projects to an ingrained culture of improvement.”

When should you use a Kaizen Event?
By Stuart Aitken July 7, 2025
The Kaizen Event approach can be applied to any problem or process and it always follows the same key steps 1. Project charter - Summary of currently situation 2. Find a Sponsor - Authorise, Legitimise and demonstrate ownership of the change 3. Build a Value Stream Map - Highlights sources of waste, barriers and opportunities 4. Affinitisation - Group issues and barriers into themes 5. Root Cause Analysis - Solve the real problem 6. Kaizen Implementation Center - Prioritise and schedule actions 7. Kaizen Event - 3 to 5 day facilitated event 8. Report Out - Team present to management what has been achieved 9. Metrics - Define how success is measured 10. 21 Day Follow Up - Close out any remaining actions 11. Success Story - Publish, share and celebrate success Over the next few weeks we will go over all of these in detail Keep a lookout for our next post on Change Readiness and General Rules and click the link to see some Kaizen Event case Studies https://lnkd.in/dJQxmXY
