After 8 Lean Camp events where we have visited different cities in the United States and Japan to learn about the best practices of excellence, we want the 2024 event to be special and for this we have concluded that for this we must return to Japan
again but with his company.
The event will take place from May 19 to 25, 2024 where we will be visiting the emblematic cities of Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto, but, from the first moment you are
receiving this information the experience has begun.
Why return to Japan?
Because it is where historical richness merges with opportunities for professional growth. We want you to be part of this total immersion into the fascinating Japanese culture, where tradition and innovation converge harmoniously. From the majestic temples to the bustling streets of Tokyo, every corner of this country offers an authentic experience that goes beyond the conventional.
Imagine expanding your professional horizons as you explore the land of the rising sun, but also participating in direct exchanges with Japanese business leaders, sharing knowledge and establishing connections. This unique opportunity will allow you to gain an up-close understanding of Japan's business dynamics and learn from those who have led their companies to success in this vibrant market. Our program is designed to offer a comprehensive experience, from exclusive seminars to special cultural events. You will learn first-hand about Japanese courtesy, precision in detail, and dedication to perfection in every aspect of life.
