Leanked Academy, Ltd. was officially established on September 22, 2009, although the idea and project had emerged much earlier. It was founded by three partners:
- Dr. Humberto Martinho,
- Eng. Nuno Fontes, and
- Eng. Lúcio Trigo.
From the beginning, the purpose was to build a different company with a worldwide reputation, focused on business consulting, with core competencies in operations and a great ability to attract, develop, and project talents.
The knowledge and experience have always been aimed at assisting organizations in operational transformations, advanced training, and operational strategy based on lean and kaizen philosophies. In addition to providing consultancy services, the priority has always been the dissemination of knowledge. The vision was to create the “Leanked Operations School” with the goal of offering innovative training plans and actively contributing to university education.
The brand Leanked Academy was born from these principles and positioning, symbolizing the integration of Lean and Kaizen concepts, working together to support organizations. The word “Academy” represents the emphasis on training and coaching.
The role of Grupo HM Consultores, a prestigious Portuguese consulting group with a significant client base, was crucial in shaping this concept during the inception of Leanked Academy. Many of these clients were from the industrial sector, which was one of the target market segments for Leanked Academy at the time of its founding.
The collaboration with Grupo HM Consultores provided valuable insights, expertise, and industry connections that helped shape the foundation of Leanked Academy. The experience and reputation of Grupo HM Consultores played a key role in establishing a strong foothold in the market and building relationships with clients in the industrial sector.
Grupo HM Consultores
The partnership between Leanked Academy and Grupo HM Consultores contributed to the development and growth of the organization, enabling us to provide high-quality consulting services and training programs tailored to the specific needs of industrial clients.
