What Past Attendees Are Saying...
Mike Hoseus’ workshop on Toyota Culture was informative, enlightening, and enjoyable. Using this world-class company as a model, or standard, helped each participant visualize where they currently are and the gaps that need problem-solving.
Great insight on how to develop a high-performing organization by relentlessly focusing on problem resolution and people development!
I have earned two engineering degrees and an MBA in finance over the course of my career. I have gone through 2 Lean certifications and I am a Six Sigma Black Belt… In all those courses the human element and the culture, which I know is foundational, was briefly glazed over. You guys have the “secret sauce” to true Lean deployment.
Great lean leader development. I highly recommend whether you’re just getting started or if you are looking to elevate your game.
Very applicable learning that helps not only organizations but individuals to elevate their game and maximize results.
I am leaving the course energized to make a difference in my organization.
Value-added time spent. I am now better prepared to positively impact the performance of others and therefore improve the business.
Even if you know nothing about lean, you will take away real lessons for building yourself and your business.
Using the ‘High Level Lean Assessment’ was very helpful in determining the opportunities within my organization, but it also helped with recognizing the need to prioritize the work ahead. Planning using the assessment decreases the level of anxiety that can be associated with Lean transformations.
