In this special Ever-So-Lean Podcast Extra episode, we come together with some of the award winners to celebrate the Lean Competency System Awards 2025.

Recorded following the awards ceremony at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, this episode captures honest reflections from individuals and organisations who are making a real difference through continuous improvement. From healthcare to global logistics, sustainability to learning and development, each story is different, yet the thread that connects them is clear. Respect for people. Commitment to learning. And the courage to make things better, every day.

You will hear directly from award winners as they share what the recognition means to them, the journeys behind their achievements, and how improvement has shaped their teams, cultures, and results. There are moments of humour, humility, and powerful insight, alongside practical lessons on developing people, building confidence, and creating environments where improvement becomes part of everyday work. This episode is not about awards. It is about people. About belief. And about what is possible when continuous improvement is lived, not just taught.

Put the kettle on, settle in, and join us as we celebrate the champions of improvement who are quietly shaping the future of our community.
