Testimonials

“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

"This course is an excellent tie-in of tried and true methods used in problem solving such as DMAIC and the use cutting edge data gathering and analysis tools such as AI and ML. The format and the content are well presented and time in between sessions allow time to both study and apply the better data gathering, analysis and presentation techniques.

I would recommend this course to everyone wanting to improve their skills in arriving at a solid data driven solution sooner." – Herman Keesee, PE
