The Lean Business Offer was designed to encourage companies to adopt Lean thinking and practices to help them increase productivity and improve overall competitiveness. Additionally, it would enable the establishment of a culture of continuous improvement, and lead to increases in profitable sales, exports, and employment.

The LBO is based on three levels of engagement of increasing scale and complexity – incremental improvements – depending on the capability and capacity of the company:

LeanStart – learn the basics.
LeanPlus – performance improvement.
LeanTransform – enterprise-wide transformation in culture and performance

Building on the success of the LBO, and so as to help Irish companies stay ahead of the competition in a rapidly evolving business landscape, Enterprise Ireland introduced the Operational Excellence Offer in 2018. This new offer was designed to incentivise established export-oriented companies to invest in upgraded production equipment, Lean/Operational Excellence training, and the implementation of innovative production, delivery, or organisational methods within the business. The goal was to bring the value of Lean principles into larger Digital Transformation projects.
