Designing the Future Remotely: A Lean Product Development Immersive Learning Experience

Stop Struggling. Start launching better products faster — and with less frustration.

LPPD is a systems approach to development that integrates people, processes, and tools with a unique set of principles and practices that enables your organization to reliably and repeatedly deliver top-quality products and services that capture and maintain competitive advantage.  

The LPPD framework works because it aligns the enterprise across functional silos, including key suppliers, through such practices and methods as the concept paper, obeya management, and rapid learning and knowledge reuse. 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, which includes your engagement in a hands-on, simulated development project with a cross-functional team, you will be able to:  

• Create a plan to improve your development system.  
• Apply methods for understanding the customer’s experience and needs so you and your team can create products or services that they will love.  
• Align the organization on what the product must be for both the customer and the business. 
• Implement practices that ensure effective and timely collaboration across work teams.  
• Manage development work visually in an obeya room to ensure the project team quickly addresses issues, keeping the project moving forward and avoiding rework.  
• Position yourself for further success with your newly acquired skills and practical insights from expert coaches, case studies of different industries, and the perspectives of fellow attendees.  
• Understand how LPPD processes and tools enable people to achieve their full potential.  

What’s Included?

With minimal time spent on theory, the workshop emphasizes learning how to apply LPPD through a simulated development project with a cross-functional team under the guidance of two LPPD thought leaders. They’ll help you plan how to implement what you learned back at work.

You and your team will receive 15 hours of in-depth instruction, conveniently broken up into five three-hour sessions over two weeks.
