In today’s manufacturing environment, strong leadership on the shop floor is more than a nice-to-have - it’s essential. At AESSEAL, that leadership is being nurtured through a combination of expert consultancy support and practical training.


Our partners at Brook Consult recently shared a spotlight on AESSEAL’s journey, highlighting how the Click2Learn Lean Leader Programme has helped engage and empower team members to take a more active role in continuous improvement.


Take a look at Brook Consult's video:


From ‘Training’ to Transformation


AESSEAL is a global leader in the design and manufacture of mechanical seals and support systems who has long invested in excellence. But like many manufacturers, the challenge was to ensure that improvement wasn’t just driven from the top, but understood and led at every level. That’s where the Lean Leader Programme came in.


Through a blend of self-paced digital modules and guided application in the workplace, learners explored:

  • What good leadership looks like in a manufacturing context

  • How to motivate and develop others

  • Practical tools for solving problems and making decisions

  • The mindset required to lead change from the front line


The result? A noticeable shift in engagement, confidence and ownership, particularly from those working directly on the shop floor.


“We were looking for leadership training that provided CMI level knowledge and practical application — and a learning management system that supported the learners from start to finish.” AESSEAL (via Brook Consulting)

Why This Approach Works


What sets the Lean Leader Programme apart is its focus on real application, not just the theory. It provides learners with the tools, structure and confidence to lead in their environment.


And because the programme is designed to work alongside consulting or internal improvement activity, it’s a natural complement to broader change initiatives that helps to accelerate progress and embed improvements in a lasting way.


Whether you’re already working with a consulting partner or looking to build confident leaders and internal capability, our training supports your goals by developing the leaders who will carry change forward.
