Kanso Lean is a mindset, not just a method.
At Kanso, Lean isn’t just a set of tools, it’s a fresh way of thinking that transforms the way you work.
All too often, Lean has focused on processes, leaving the people behind them feeling overwhelmed and disconnected.
We take a different approach.
Meet Stacy Franklin
Founder, CEO and Lean Black Belt
Raised in a family business, Stacy saw firsthand how simple, intentional changes can create big impact.
After earning her Lean Black Belt at the University of Limerick, she set out to take Lean beyond manufacturing, proving it’s not just for factories, it’s for people.
As the founder of Kanso, she helps service-based professionals and teams cut waste, streamline work, and build a culture of continuous improvement. Whether she’s training teams, speaking at events, or coaching leaders, Stacy’s mission is simple: make Lean purpose-driven, people-focused, and built for the future.
Stacy’s empathic appreciation of our business, deep listening skills, and concise feedback allowed us to perceive our business with greater clarity. We now have clear, attainable, attributable KPIs which allow me, as Managing Director, to monitor the pulse of the business.

Managing Director - Gift Innovations
I highly recommend Stacy Franklin as a Lean lecturer and consultant. Her passion for Lean, her focus on people, and her commitment to delivering measurable results make her a valuable asset to any organisation seeking to embrace Lean principles.
Dr Sean Moore,
Associate Professor & Course Director Lean Systems - University of Limerick
I’ve gained immense value from Stacy's insights, which have helped me bridge academic learning with real-world challenges. Her approachable style has made a genuine difference in my learning journey and in how I'm now delivering Lean within my organisation.

Stacy fostered a supportive and interactive learning environment that encouraged collaboration and critical thinking. I am now more confident applying Lean Six Sigma tools in the workplace thanks to her guidance and expertise.
