Academy

Our academy program builds certified capability in lean management, six sigma quality, cost reduction, and project acceleration. In intensive training seminars, the “Boot Camps”, participants learn to see the hidden wastes and opportunities, and how to go after them. They learn to map the value stream end-to-end, structure cross-functional projects, organize teams, solve systemic problems and – most importantly – stretch beyond their personal comfort zone. Those champions grow personally and professionally, and bring back not only seminar papers but also new thinking and enhanced capability. Read more
