CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • LEAN PRACTITIONER - VIRTUAL LAB

    "Prior to attending this course, I had been involved with lean practices and it has been a 'waste of time' for different reasons (lack of knowledge by the facilitator, no follow ups, etc.) so I had lost all interest in lean and didn’t think it was beneficial.

    However after attending this class it has changed my mindset on how lean is very beneficial for both personal and professional development. Overall a great concise course with a knowledgeable and interactive instructor. "

  • LEAN LEADER - VIRTUAL LAB

    "I have learned so much in this course and have been able to apply multiple items right away. Also John (facilitator) has been absolutely amazing! He was engaging, fun, and clearly very knowledgeable.

    He was also willing to course correct based on our feedback, including delving into more topics, giving real examples and more."

    Heather Ritcher | November 2024

  • VALUE STREAM ASSESSMENT (VSA) - IN PERSON

    "I felt this was very beneficial and I was very surprised at how different value stream assessment actually was from how I had been told or how others are framing it at my job. I feel like I understand very well how VSA fits into the bigger picture of Lean implementation now after this course and all my expectations were met or exceeded. Great course!"
