People

As we wind down the year of 2010 and begin to look forward to 2011, I can't help but reflect on some of the best times we had this year - not in terms of number of Greenbelts or Blackbelts we graduated, but in terms of the quality of people we had in our programs.

Here are some just of the photos from our past programs.  We were truly inspired by their commitment to lean and to transform the world.

Thank you to all for your support

Simple Message

As we reflect back on 2010 and think about the future, we have a simple message:

"Go Transform the World"

Blackbelt saves $11.9 million!

There are many interesting aspects of our Blackbelt programs, to share, but the most impressive achievement is the amount of waste they remove and the resulting cost reductions during the program.



Our most recent Blackbelt posted the largest cost savings ever in our history: $11.9 million.  The savings - achieved from the combined efforts of the participants' classroom projects and their assignments - include a variety of topics from supply chain to change management.

The cost saving is not the key focus of the Blackbelt program, but it's nice to know that the participants' companies definitely received their payback!

Just for Fun

Have fun!
