The content meets the requirements. However, it is not made available over the two days. This means we have to take screenshots to keep a record of it. The same applies to the exercises.

Very interesting content. The facilitator has a very educational way of introducing topics by encouraging participants to ask themselves questions, thereby engaging them in active reflection, which improves their understanding of the topics and helps them to consolidate the concepts.

Thank you, Gianfranco... Two intense days where the course was well put together, covering theory, practical exercises, real-life scenarios and teaching content... I’m leaving with lots of new knowledge and ideas. Thank you, Géraldine.

It’s excellent for a first introduction to Lean, but it’s best to have some prior knowledge to follow the explanations more easily. We’ll now need to go back over the many tools and ‘let them sink in’ so that we can use them effectively and appropriately in future situations, and we’ll need to experiment regularly to really get to grips with them. Many thanks to the facilitator, who was a very effective teacher.

It isn’t necessarily well suited to our environment and constraints. The material could do with being ‘refreshed’ and better structured

The content was interesting and partly met my expectations: although the course was theoretical and the content rich, it lacked exercises, games, demos, videos, etc. to bring the concepts to life through practice.

the pdf files supplied are not exactly what you see, and a large part of them cannot be searched for text.

The course is very dense, but the practical examples give a good understanding of how to use the tools, and I'd like to thank the trainer for simplifying the problems and not trying to complicate things.

The training content was interesting, relevant, clear and fluid. The trainer was also a great teacher. Thanks to him, I was able to understand and now know how to apply different Lean tools and, above all, he knows how to transmit the Lean state of mind throughout the session. My only regret is the length of the course, which could have been longer to go into more depth and go further on the Lean theme. Thank you very much for these two fascinating days.

The practical case studies were interesting in terms of collective reflection, but frustrating for those who were unable to work on their subject.
