Inside the LCS Awards 2025 – with the Ever-So-Lean Podcast

The LCS Awards 2025 were a powerful celebration of what’s possible when Continuous Improvement is truly lived — not just talked about.

Held at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, the Awards brought together improvement practitioners, leaders, and organisations from across sectors to recognise outstanding commitment to developing people, building capability, and creating lasting impact.

To capture the spirit of the evening, a very special LCS Awards Celebration episode of the Ever So Lean Podcast was recorded. 

Hearing Directly from the 2025 Award Winners

In this special episode, Matt Sims is joined by several LCS Awards 2025 winners. The conversations are honest, reflective, and inspiring.

You’ll hear:

  • What winning an LCS Award truly means to individuals and teams
  • The journeys behind the results — including challenges, learning, and growth
  • How improvement is being embedded in everyday work across real organisations

From healthcare and public services to global logistics, sustainability, and learning & development, the stories span sectors — but share the same foundations:

Respect for people. Continuous learning. And the determination to make things better, every day.

 

Why the LCS Awards Matter

The LCS Awards are not about one-off projects or short-term wins. They recognise:

  • Excellence in developing people and capability
  • Improvement approaches that are sustainable and scalable
  • Cultures where learning, confidence, and ownership are actively encouraged
  • Organisations that are building long-term operational excellence

This episode brings those principles to life, showcasing the people behind the work and the impact they are creating.

 

Thinking About Entering the LCS Awards?

If you’re delivering meaningful improvement, developing capability, or embedding a culture of continuous improvement in your organisation, the LCS Awards are for you.

The podcast episode offers a genuine insight into what the Awards recognise — and why so many entrants say the process itself is a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate progress.
