To that end

In that case, what you gave as the original term is perfectly OK. "For that purpose" is a synonym but not 100% interchangeable. If you don't like "to that end", you could use "to achieve that purpose"

Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to translate this sentence. I think the first sentence and the second sentence do not flow naturally:
Now that we have and understanding for how Lean works and how organizations can improve when using Lean, it’s time to learn about the ***'s Lean Strategy. For that purpose, we have a very clear mission and values requiring continuous improvement...

You need to be more specific when you post a question. Are you editing the English version? Are you translating and you are not sure what it means? To me it sounds perfect; what does not "flow naturally" is the first sentence.

in any case, I'm still waiting to hear from asker about the point of this question. explanation of the meaning for translation purposes or is it being edited, in which case it's fine as stands.

Here is one way to rewrite the sentence: Learning the Lean strategy is guided by clear values and a mission that requires continuous improvement.

the end justifies (or not) the means (to achieve it)

flow naturally if it means for that purpose? Are you planning to edit the English or translate it into Chinese?
