Champion Feedback
"Highlight was the interaction between the participants, sharing best practices. The visit to the external benchmarking company made me aware how to achieve excellence by applying lean methodologies. Joerg's experience makes every conversation a source of learning. It's always enriching to have some days off the ordinary routine and doing some hansei (self-reflection) about how to stretch and leave the comfort zone to achieve the goals we define for our jobs and life. Feedback on our projects from Lean experts was also good to understand and learn how to be precise and effective to communicate ideas. The role-play is one powerful tool to develop our management skills."
