Testimonials & Results
Jim studied the Lean system and became a certified leader through one of the best organizations in the world. He reproduced his training by investing in others, and encouraging the Board and our staff to strive for continuous improvement through Lean. Because of this, our region is considered a leader in the Province of Saskatchewan and we have achieved significant results before many others did.
- Randy Donauer, Board Member of Saskatoon Regional Health Authority
Bonnie helped spearhead a project with her team using the 5S organizational system to help us gain control and save time. They overhauled the entire space, cleaning thoroughly and implementing a system that helped us own the space and save time and energy, making it easier to find and use things. It’s helped immensely with our resource management.
