Client Testimonials

Leslie Pratt Business Data Analyst | Data & Process Modeling Extensive Project Life Cycle Experience November 7, 2014

"Mark is an excellent trainer. The Lean Six Sigma training that Mark did at WorkOne was very well done. He was able to truly engage the students and keep it interesting. He took the time to drive the major concepts of Kaizen, Muda (Muri & Mura) and Heijunka into his student's minds. In addition, he brought the tools like Kanban, Andon and Obeya to life with great examples and pictures. I really benefited from his training and feel I can go out and use it right away. Thanks, Mark!"

Karla Jones, CLSS Consultant at Eli Lilly and Company December 7, 2014

"Mark taught the Certified Lean Six Sigma (LLS) Yellow Belt course through WorkOne. As a student, I was able to certify my skills in understanding the basic tools and knowledge for LSS. While Mark's primary knowledge is in the automotive industry, he supplied the class with ample opportunities to transfer the knowledge to other industries making it beneficial for all. The class participated in several projects from value stream mapping to a fishbone analysis. As a learning professional, I am always looking for things to add to my toolbox. The peanut butter and jelly exercise was "spot on" for teaching about the Standardized Operating Worksheet."

Michele Carbone December 7, 2014

"I had the privilege to attend a Lean Six Sigma (Yellow Belt) class directed by Mark. His teaching methods are very effective; he made everyone feel part of this team, and encouraged every student, creating a professional but friendly atmosphere in class; during class he established himself as a leader not because he was the teacher, but because of his knowledgeable and passionate approach to teaching. He maintained high quality standards throughout the event. "

"I recently completed a 4 day workshop on LSS with Mark. As a learning expert, Mark did several things at an expert level for adult learners: 1) sequenced the content into manageable and logical chunks, 2) communicated and emphasized the WIIFM, and 3) allowed for ample practice and interaction. He is an excellent facilitator and I highly recommend Mark for other LSS workshops without hesitation. As a CLSS practitioner, his knowledge and expertise was demonstrated throughout the workshop."

Jonathan Jorgensen Emergency Management | Project Management November 7, 2014

"I was fortunate to have Mark Ryan provide instruction on becoming certified in Lean Six-Sigma (LLS) Yellow Belt. Mark Ryan truly understands the Six-Sigma process and conveyed the theories and principles easily to a group of individuals new to the process. His real world examples open our eyes to how companies are adapting LLS practices into their business models. I would recommend Mark Ryan as a LSS instructor to anyone or to any organization looking to learn how to become more efficient and reduce their muda (waste)."
