Trending Now in Training
Lean Culture Change Program
"I really enjoyed the class. Your experience and knowledge of Lean really does come through in the class. You are an approachable expert which makes learning fun."
"I just wanted to let you know that I thought you did an excellent job of presenting the material. I like the way the class was so conversational and not just a typical academic sort of class structure."
'What a great set of experiences! This training really fueled my enthusiasm and gave a tremendous boost to my passion for improvement."
 These are just a few examples of unsolicited participant praise for Corporate Service's new Lean Culture Change Program, a series of ten highly interactive two-hour discussions facilitated by George Friesen, our head Lean guru! This new program joins our Lean Leadership Certification Program, as training services designed to give participants tangible and practical knowledge, skill and tools to make Lean stick. "Time after time, Lean fades because organizations do not address head on the fact that Lean won't stick unless their culture-their organization's DNA- undergoes a major transformation. Making this happen is difficult but it is possible. When it does happen, Lean delivers, driving the increases in productivity and profitability anticipated when the organization made its initial investment in Lean," stated George.
