Collin’s focus is always on coaching the participant with the knowledge necessary to succeed.
“We learned how to approach Kaizen – Empowering your people to come up with the ideas instead of doing it all yourself, that’s been a huge mind shift.”
“After arriving in Japan, I came to realize that there was something more than just tools or methods. What I found was, without a doubt, that business was based on respect to people, machines, and environment.”
“It’s really the seeing. Seeing how all of the tools and components of Lean come together on the floor and work. The opportunity to see Lean where it was invented and to talk with executives of these companies is nothing but sensational.”
“Visual communication is the most striking. I wanted to see what a visual factory was. I read about it in textbooks, but it is something you have to see.”
“I saw all of the Lean practices in action, but I saw more than that. I also discovered better insight into the philosophies behind world-class Lean organizations.”
