Feedback

Really enjoyed the Lean approach and considering how I can apply the model into our context. It was helpful sharing the ideas with others in similar roles in different contexts. - October 2021

I feel this was a very informative course. I will definitely use some of the techniques that I learnt while on the course especially looking at the big picture (system) and not just go to the issue and find a solution - October 2021
It was honestly some of the best training I have attended and I am really enjoying working out how to bring it into my day to day. May 2021
