Thanks again for a great couple of days."

The workshop was delivered with great effect - getting past the theory and into the practical application and benefits in a well timed manner.

Full Profile : Established in 2000 in the North East, we work with private companies in most sectors of the manufacturing and service industries. You benefit from our 20 years’ experience of working with established or high-growth companies and we recognise that each client has different requirements. We work closely with you to determine your needs, your objectives and put together a programme which will work for you. Our three key areas are:

Planning your Success
Successful organisations know it’s vital to plan for success. You know where you want to be, but don’t have a detailed plan to get there. We help you develop your strategy, and put together and implement the action plan to achieve your objectives.

People Development
It’s important to have the right people with the right skills. We help you lead people more effectively, to overcome barriers to change, solve problems and improve the way things are done. You will benefit from the support of resourceful employees who have the new-found confidence to take on responsibility; to make good decisions and to work on their own initiative.

Process Improvement
We work with many manufacturing companies implementing Lean tools and techniques. We also apply the Lean approach, with impressive results, to office-based operations to reduce waste and inefficiencies. Removing these frustrating time-wasting activities motivates your staff and you benefit by reducing costs, working with happier staff, with improved customer satisfaction.
