APLE L3
Welcome to the LCS Level 3 Programme. Having worked with APLE L3 candidates since 2011, I’ve met many very interesting senior improvement professionals from a wide range of industries and with varied experiences. Candidates from a wide variety of industries, backgrounds and career paths have become alumni of the Level 3 programme in the last 13 years: from logistics to finance, from broadcasting to consulting, from running the country’s tax affairs to saving lives at sea, from health to energy, from rail infrastructure to nuclear processing.
The typical LCS Level 3 candidate has at least 10 years of active experience and demonstrable competency in the field of improvement, and, in that period has developed a commensurate maturity in their leadership and mentoring capability. They will have also reached an appropriate level of responsibility and accountability, which has enabled them to shape the strategic level agenda of the organisations they have worked in or have led.
The programme allows the candidate to explore and critically review their own path to excellence through the means three illustrative case studies, telling their own ‘story’ in three chapters if you will, of improvement competency and leadership development. These are followed by an assignment, where the candidate researches the evolution of lean, improvement thinking and practice in its wider use, then compares that with their own context. It is also a vehicle for them to develop a theme of personal interest, perhaps employing lessons learnt, thoughts and hypotheses brought to the surface in the development of their own case material. The programme is rounded off with a panel presentation, summarising their programme findings and looking to the future. Many candidates take the opportunity here to showcase their experience and thoughts to colleagues and fellow improvement professionals, with critical feedback.
The as an alumni of the scheme you will also become a recognised member of the LCS Level 3 community and be able to attend its associated network and learning events.
If you feel, as a fellow improvement professional, that you have reached a point at which you are able to reflect critically on your own development in the field please contact us at LCS and we can discuss the programme in more detail and your options further.
