The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted companies to operate in innovative ways to tackle supply chain disruptions, swings in customer demand, and health risks to the workforce. The capability of companies to respond to contingencies and meet different needs is crucial for business leaders in continuing business. This paper proposes that Lean principles can be the basis for successful business transformation. We feature an executive-level training programme based on lean principles for enabling business transformation to support business leaders in recalibrating their business operations to tackle the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses Bloom’s taxonomy in lesson planning and course design to meet the desired learning outcomes. This paper provides practical advice for course designers and programme leaders on integrating Bloom’s taxonomy as the basis for designing Lean training and educational content to suit the adult learners’ needs.
