From February 2009 to January 2013 a consortium of industrial, academic and research organisations collaborated on the Lean Product and Process Development (Lean PPD) research project funded by the European Union. These organisations included Rolls Royce, Indesit, Volkwagen, Visteon, Sitech, Sisteplant, Cranfield University, Tecnalia, Politecnico di Milano, EPFL, ATB, and Warwick University. The objective of the LeanPPD project was to enable companies to adopt Lean Thinking in the Product Development process. As a result, the LeanPPD model, and its associated tools and methodologies, were developed and tested with the support of the industrial partners. With the support of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Lean Analytics Association (LAA) was launched in Switzerland in 2012 as a non-profit organisation to disseminate and exploit the LeanPPD project's results.

The spirit of Continuous Improvement is flourishing across Paulig Group. Since the launch of the initiative in May 2025, the organisation has undergone a transformative shift in problem-solving and operational excellence.

By going to the "Gemba", the place where value is created, Paulig’s leadership is connecting with the heartbeat of operations to bridge the gap between strategy and reality.

The success of these sessions across Europe is a testament to the curiosity and collaborative courage of every participant. This Gemba Walk implementation journey has been orchestrated by the Continuous Improvement leadership team: Iryna Krushevska, Didier Boelens, Tiina Rautiainen, Cristian Salinas, Anton Lundblad, and Björn Amnéus.

Their dedication has not only ensured the success of these sessions but has fueled a vibrant culture where root causes are uncovered and solutions are pioneered together. Congratulations to everyone involved in this magnificent milestone!

Today we celebrate the International Day of Education. 🌍 This year’s theme highlights the power of youth and students in co-creating the future of learning.

Education is more than just a classroom; it is the engine of innovation and the foundation of a stable society. For enterprises, it’s the ultimate ROI: empowering a workforce that is adaptable, creative, and ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Established by the United Nations in 2018, this day serves as a powerful reminder that education is not just a privilege, it is a fundamental human right and the most sustainable path toward global peace and development.

Let’s commit to making "Education for All" a reality, not just a goal. 🎓💻.

It has been a pleasure to collaborate with the Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo (IMP) on the successful design and delivery of our Innovation Programme.
Over the past three months, we navigated an inspiring journey through Design Thinking, Effective Presentations, Storytelling and Market Intelligence. Spanning from October to December, this hybrid program united four brilliant multidisciplinary teams across four different cities. It was incredible to witness the power of collaborative problem-solving and how these teams leveraged mentorship and new tools to tackle complex organisational challenges with such creativity.
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants! Your active engagement, contagious enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment made this an incredibly enriching experience. I am so proud of the work accomplished and the innovation sparked during our time together. Cheers to the spirit of innovation, teamwork and the bright future ahead! 🚀✨
