Udtalelse fra en tidligere deltager på kurset Som konsulent, finder jeg det yderst vigtigt at være på forkant med den udvikling, som hele tiden sker og det kommer ikke af sig selv! Muligheden for at deltage både i den workshop, der gik forud for selve eksamen, samt at få afprøvet sine færdigheder gennem en hård test, var en for god udfordring for mig til at kunne modstå. Det er altid sjovt at tilbringe tid sammen med ligesindede, og jeg blev ikke skuffet over mine kursuskammerater, der alle havde et højt niveau på deres Lean viden. Vi diskuterede meget, og så bestemt ikke altid på tingene på samme måde. Præcis som det skal være, var det både sjovt, interessant og udviklende. Joakim Bjurström, Leanab AB
