Testimonial

“These Operational Analytics Webinars are outstanding, they bring together Principles, Theories, Methods in a way that is easy to understand, follow and put to use.  I’m glad to hear your integrating them all into a course.

The development of our Huddles and our Huddle Boards and the Visible Measurement System has been a transformation for our employees and our organization.  We’ll never be the same.  We truly were data rich and information poor.  Now we know how to use the data we have to achieve our organizational performance requirements.” – BigBrothersBigSisters Toronto
