“I personally would like to thank you for your great support and for your responsiveness. Your Lean healthcare program is an outstanding program and I very much benefit from it on a daily basis. You and your team have done an amazing job, taking out the mystic of Lean and Six Sigma and also the complexity and managed to convey the Lean Thinking and tools in an easy and understandable way. It has helped me to be a better facilitator and communicator, a better trouble-shooter, a better project manager/coordinator and a better co-worker” |

"When embarking on our Lean transformsation initiative, we not only
needed to educate ourselves on Lean principles, but also on the application of
those principles. The in-house customized solution, provided by Leading Edge, was just what we needed; the class room work educating us on the basics of Lean Thinking and the in-house projects providing us with experience in the application of those principles." |

| “I have found the Certification in Lean Supply Chain Management extremely beneficial. The principles of each module are clearly identified. The reviews, summaries, exams and assignments ensure that you have grasped and understood the philosophy and tools of Lean thinking and know when to implement them. All in all a very worth while education.“ |

| "So far I have found the program to be both informative and challenging, and have learnt something new in each of the courses displayed. The presentation and method of questioning keep you focused and ensures you are thorough with your study. A good program pitched at the right level to provide the necessary tools and skills to make a difference." |

| “I enjoyed and learned from this coursework and certification. I particularly enjoyed your approach in the student notebook and online coursework, not being overly wordy, but getting to the point. Another aspect which I like and use is the brief bulleted format for principles and learning. These are easier to recommend and actually bring with you to work. I intend to take additional courses as time permits.” |

| “Having recently completed the Lean SCM Certification program I can only compliment the entire program. The material was clear, relatively concise given its complexity, and very well presented. The interspersal of graphs, pictures, tables and the like made it much easier to assimilate than other distance learning programs, and indeed "Lean" course I have undertaken. The intermittent review questions and modular nature of the program made it easier to assimilate the information and check that it had indeed sunk in. As a remote user who is in full time employment and has a full time family, the fact that I could log in and study from home at any time I chose was particularly important. Since I started the program I have implemented the Lean principles in my business unit and achieved astonishing results. A process which used to take two whole teams has been reduced from 23 lapsed days each month to 8, and the accuracy rate in this very complex process has more than doubled. Now that I have "proven the concept", the rest of my business is clamoring for my time to "lean" their resource hungry processes. Suddenly, I am Mr Popular!” |

“I have found the Lean Green Belt SCM program very informative and useful. This program has enabled me to learn more about the concepts of Lean Supply Chain Management, and has expanded my supply chain horizon. The good thing about this program is that it gives the participant the opportunity to learn at his or her own pace without any additional pressure. The information could be accessed from anywhere as long as a person has computer connection and willingness.
The on-line lessons and content are easy to use and understand. The review questions and exams at the end of the lessons are excellent for recapping the learning. Personally I have found that the Program Support team led by John Whelton to be extremely helpful and prompt in their responses. I respect their thorough professionalism and supportive approach" |

“I searched for suitable training in Lean Thinking for several months. I needed a program that provided adequate exposure to the theory and tools of Lean management. The ability to engage in a sustained learning project was most important for me.
The Lean Healthcare Certification course handbook and materials provided links to other materials of value. The availability of mentoring via email provided the consultation to implement a Lean project. We anticipate that the improvements we implemented using Lean Empowerment tools and mentoring will result in an improved efficiency of our local VA Mental Health Clinic by as much as 30%.
The Lean Healthcare Certification program has provided me with the tools and experience to continue the pursuit of excellence. I have recommended this program to others interested in a practical, sustained, and excellent exposure to Lean Healthcare management" |

| “I conducted a lot of research before embarking on the journey of becoming Lean Certified. The selection of offerings came down to a US university and the Leading Edge Group (Lean Empowerment). The university offering was a certificate-based program that focused on the concepts of Lean but only through a manufacturing perspective. I chose the Leading Edge Group because they offered a certification in Lean and focused on healthcare examples and perspectives. I also really liked the ability that it gave me to ask questions to the mentors, which I found are located all over the world. What a way to find out what others are doing, without taking one step away from your computer! I have completed all of the modules and through the experience, have gathered ideas, forms, best practices, new friends, and networking and, even better, a sincere appreciation for what Lean can do for healthcare." |
