In-Class & Hands-On Training

H4M uses the curriculum above to develop custom-based training programs for each client's industry sector and specific needs and situation. We'll work with your business or organization to find the ideal balance between classroom training and actual hands-on implementation.

Time frames vary according to individual specifications. Some organizations prefer training sessions to be held right away, while others spread out the training period over 6-8 weeks. In most cases the most important material can be covered within 7-10 days, with additional training provided as the Lean Transformation enterprise progresses and matures.
