"I completed Mark’s Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training and I found him to be a really great professional. The course was excellently developed in terms of organization, theoretical and practical content, class participation and material. Mark’s coaching skills and knowledge made it easy to learn Lean and Six Sigma concepts such as Kaizen and Kaizen Blitz, Muda, Value Added and Non-Value Added, Value Stream Mapping, 5S programs, Heijunka, USL and LSL, DPMO, DMAIC, and many more. Mark also engaged and led teams for hands on process improvement to better assimilate learned concepts. I truly think Mark is an excellent Lean Six Sigma expert."

"Mark Ryan prepared and presented a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training that I attended. His professional attention to detail and instructional leadership is the best that I have had opportunity to see first hand. Mr. Ryan kept the exercises on task and track and the learning at a LEAN pace while optimizing the learning flow and walking with us in the place where value is created. Thank you for the lesson on rapid continuous improvement!"

"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. "

"Mark Ryan lives and breathes Lean Six Sigma and is able to transmit its concepts and real-world applications without muda (waste) and in an easily-digestible format. With his quick-wit, real-world examples, and his own Andon light to keep course participants on track, learning LSS concepts is both fun and relevant.

Mark helped me see how LSS goes well beyond its manufacturing heritage and is being used today across many service industries, including marketing, customer experience, retail, and universities. I recommend Mark Ryan as a CLSS adherent and instructor to anyone or to any organization."
