"I highly recommend Mark as a great leader, coach, and mentor. Mark was my instructor for the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt workshop and I greatly appreciated his dedication and wealth of knowledge he taught me. He is definitely a GURU of Lean Six Sigma and went above and beyond all expectations. Thank you Mark!"

"I am so excited to type this recommendation for Mark Ryan who was my Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt instructor. Mark was introduced to me by a friend who knows about my inability to afford retaking the class that I had completed with another company in 2011. Mark was willing and ready to work with me without any question asked. He is a marvelous instructor who is always ready for class with full and detailed agenda, visual explanations (PowerPoint and tools), a great listener and problem solver who communicates clearly. In Mark’s class, you better be ready to be fully engaged because there was no dull moment! He was never in a hurry to go home despite the fact that the class ends at 9:30 p.m. and he had to work the next day. As a Professor, I find his teaching styles very unique of all types of examples including life experiences. He takes your imagination into those experiences…….I always see myself being in the moment of those experiences during his teaching. Not only did I receive my certification from his class, I also adopted his teaching techniques to use with my own students.
I am highly recommending Mark Ryan for any position not only because of his teaching and leadership skills, but also because of his numerous very creative techniques and empathy for his team in ensuring a perfect result at whatever he does."

"I had the privilege to attend a LSS class directed by Mark Ryan. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this professionally organized event. Mark instructed all class personal with integrity, professionalism, and respect. It was a great learning experience for me personally and Mark made it fun as well. Thank you Mark."

"I recently attended a Lean Six Sigma certification program facilitated by Mark. The training was definitely “value added” and as an instructor Mark exceeded my expectations. As a Certified Lean Six-Sigma Black Belt, Mark demonstrated that he was an exceptional subject matter expert. He created an “Obeya” that was conducive to learning so all attendees could “Genchi Genbutsu” and practice value stream mapping, one-piece flow and root cause analysis. His visual training guides helped tremendously. The PACE time was spot-on; therefore there was no “Muda”. Mark is a strong leader, outstanding communicator, first-rate trainer and is a “Sensei” that really knows how to connect with his trainees. Thank you Mark!"

Bonnie Scott LSSY IT Project Manager | Business/Systems Analyst November 7, 2014

"Mark Ryan is passionate about Lean Six Sigma, which was very evident in the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training that he developed and presented and which I was fortunate to attend. It was a well-rounded course including the history of Lean and Six Sigma, and the hybrid Lean Six Sigma as well as benefits of LSS, LSS terminology, and real world exercises using LSS tools. Mark is organized, customer service oriented, and an excellent instructor. Mark Ryan would be a sound investment for any company that needs a leader certified in Lean Six Sigma with a passion for process improvement and the ability to share his wealth of knowledge in a way that is engaging and drives the process home."
