How We Prepare Our Rankings
Lean Community Rankings are editorial guides intended to support informed comparison. Depending on the subject, we assess publicly available and verifiable information such as professional relevance, scope of the offer, practitioner value, expertise, evidence of delivery, accessibility, international reach and transparency.
Not every criterion applies to every subject. Each ranking should explain its selection criteria, geographical scope and reference period. Rankings reflect an editorial assessment based on information available at publication. They are not certifications, guarantees of quality or permanent judgments.
Relevant to Practitioners
We focus on factors that can influence practical value for Lean, continuous improvement and operational excellence professionals.
Based on Available Evidence
We review official websites, published programmes, service information, professional publications and other relevant sources.
Open to Corrections
Organisations and readers may submit factual corrections or additional evidence for editorial review.
Our editorial goal is to separate ranking decisions from commercial relationships. Sponsored content or paid collaboration should be clearly identified and must not guarantee a particular ranking position.
Suggest a New Ranking
Is an important topic, market or language missing? Tell us what practitioners need to compare. We can consider preparing a new ranking in English, Polish or another language.
Please include the proposed topic, country or region, preferred language and relevant sources or organisations that should be reviewed.
