Why Membership Matters
Company-Wide Member Benefits:
Free & Discounted Workshops
GBMP Member companies get one free seat for every single one of GBMP's 2- and 4-hour virtual public Lean training workshops. That's at least a $199 value per attendee per workshop. Members also get discounted tuition for our 1, 2, 3 and 8-day Certification courses as well our Shingo Model workshops and The Annual Northeast Lean Conference. Trust us, it adds up!
Discounts on Lean Training Aids
Members receive 20% off all of GBMP's lean training videos, workbooks and games. Members also receive the SME member price (15% off) for the Lean Certification Bronze Level four-book package and exam fees; an excellent addition to your lean library, even if you don't take the certification course or exam.
Lean Coaching by Phone
GBMP Gold Members get one hour of Lean coaching by phone each quarter. A GBMP CI Manager can provide coaching, advice and guidance - coaching to develop your lean knowledge, advice on your lean management system and guidance for a specific project. Each of our consultants has 20+ years of experience and are eager to help.
Leanflix! On-Demand Streaming Content
GBMP Gold & Platinum Members can access our amazing library of Lean Training Videos, including every single one of GBMP's award-winning videos - from the first one ever, "Toast Kaizen" to our most recent, "Improvement Kata".

These are the full-length videos (which retail for $129 and up) which members can watch anytime, from anywhere, as often as they would like. Our streaming video training content also includes dozens of presentations from the past seven Northeast Lean Conferences, including sessions by John Shook, Dan Ariens, Ritsuo Shingo, Bruce Hamilton, Billy Taylor, Art Byrne, Mike Rother and many more.
