New Zealand Lean Academy
Launching February 2025
But why join, you ask? Let's hear from Miriam:
"Working with Kate & Rob in 2024 has allowed us to see how to work better, achieve more and be more productive in less time. It's been a great investment and great value!"
You hear her?
This is going to be like nothing the New Zealand have ever seen before!
Here's how it works:
You bring the vision of what you want your work-life and/or business to look like in 2025.
Rob Bull and Kate Horton provide the community, resources, expertise and accountability to support you to get there.
We've been small business owners for years too, so we've built what we wish we'd had when we were first navigating the journey of becoming more efficient, more profitable, AND wanting an amazing life outside of work throughout it all.
If you're ready to have the best year of your career, read on. You're going to LOVE this!
You wouldn't got to the gym for 6 hours and expect to be healthy for the rest of your life!
So don't go to one-off productivity workshop and expect your workplace to be efficient or profitable as a result.
The New Zealand Lean Academy is different from any business training you've done before:
It's not a one-off event, it's a year-long journey.
We don't just focus on the tools, we understand that your business growth depends heavily on getting the people-stuff right too.
We support you to create a continuous improvement mindset that will change the way you approach both your professional and personal life.
Rob & Kate are OBSESSED with this! You've got us in your back pocket the whole time.So don't go to one-off productivity workshop and expect your workplace to be efficient or profitable as a result.
What's Inside the Membership?
Here's your support crew
When you join the New Zealand Lean Academy, you become part of an national community of business leaders who are committed to consistent and purposeful action towards their goals.
Your fellow members care about the journey you're on, the challenges you’re facing, and want to support you in bringing your visions into reality.
Kate & Rob are intent on making this the most uplifting and supportive LinkedIn Group for productivity in New Zealand.
A tool for any situation
Whether you’re looking for problem analysis templates, meeting frameworks, seminal research, conversation scaffolds, classic Lean tools, coaching, additional training, co-working sessions …
we have it all!
Our resource bank grows each month and you get access to it all!
Consultants in your pocket
Advice and information are free, and freely available. Support and accountability are the things worth investing in.
You'll have access to regular weekly events to keep you on track all year long.
And, you're in great hands! Rob is one of NZ's leading Lean gurus and Kate is a formally qualified (and very experienced) leadership coach.
We’ll also have exclusive member offers for 1:1 consulting programs when you want something more intensive.
F.A.Q's
Have I missed the joining date?
Not at all!
You can begin your membership to the New Zealand Lean Academy at any time, and your subscription will last for 12 months from your joining date.
Do I have to turn up for everything?
Nope! Like everything in life, you get out what you put in. That means you get to pick and choose the way that you participate inside the New Zealand Lean Academy. The right way to be a member, is the way that's right for you.
Is there a payment plan?
How good is afterpay?
It's available when you sign up.
If you want to pay on the 20th, just let us know the email address of your accounts person and we'll whip up an invoice.
Is there a discount if our whole team joins?
We have made the New Zealand Lean Academy as accessible as possible because we know that working with consultants is out of reach for many SME's. That means that in order to keep things fair to our members, there are not, and never will be any discounts on this membership.
