The flood of information in your email inbox?
Then you’re familiar with the daily demands of office work, which are sometimes so extensive they’re impossible to manage. In addition to the usual enquiries and the administrative work, your working day is plagued by constant interruptions and time pressure.
The pressure on office workers is constant, and this causes stress.
Wouldn’t you like to have the resources to deal with it better? Can you change things?
Yes, you both can and should. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
According to figures provided by the Fraunhofer Institute for Work Management and Organisation (IAO), around 18 million people in Germany work in an office.
This represents around 40% of the national workforce. However. there are methods which immediately reduce processing times by 40%. We show them to you on the spot in our own office.
How would you feel about being provided with support resources in order to get a better grip on your work and achieve a positive work-life flow?
How would you like to know how you can prepare yourself optimally for upcoming transformations, and the methods which will enable you to master any change?
How would you feel about really looking forward to starting work every day, confident that you will be able to manage all your tasks with ease?
In production operations, for many decades now methods have been applied which facilitate the execution of working processes. Concepts such as KAIZEN, Lean and CIP are generally known here. Many companies achieve outstanding results with these methods, but few of them apply them to administrative work and the office.
Studies have shown that the value creation level in the indirect, i.e. the administrative area of the company is only 60%. Office staff could achieve much more if they had less of a workload and more flexibility.
What has been practised with great success in production operations for decades is only very slowly being applied to administrative work.
For 20 years we have been familiar with Japan’s KAIZEN philosophy, i.e. with the question of how step by step everyday work can be improved, simplified and freed from stress?
For this purpose we have created the Lean Performance Office.
The implementation of the corresponding methods is tested and monitored within our own office. We work here on exactly the same principles which we recommend to our clients.
As experts in lean management in the office, we provide concrete tips on the subject of improving self-organisation, cooperation and process optimisation. We help our clients to achieve greater motivation and enjoyment in relation to their work, and show them how to achieve effective and productive results with less input.
What gives us pleasure
Once people have found out about it, they want to put it into practice without delay.
The Lean Performance Office (LPO) demonstrates the application of the Lean and KAIZEN philosophy to administration and office work.
In the LPO all the principles of thought and action which are aimed at the improvement of working operations are based on KAIZEN and Lean Management philosophy. The focus is on optimising company processes, combined with the continuous improvement of product, process and service quality.
Administrative work and communication initiatives are managed and regulated efficiently, are applied and put into practice on a daily basis. Standards for repeatable tasks are of assistance here.
The objective: Processes become faster, better, more transparent. Step by step a process of continuous improvement is established, which provides motivation and flexibility for change.
Shaping the present by improvements enables the future to be developed more successfully.

The integration of different ideas is a challenge for modern companies.
But if the implementation is on a step-by-step basis, they will be sure to achieve the targets they have set themselves
Work and endurance are significant factors when it’s a matter of making a vision come true. The targets of a company and its customers can only be achieved if the entire workforce operates in a systematic and structured way.
