The A3 course from LEI has helped shape our course of action on problem-solving. While we don’t necessarily complete an A3 for all problems yet, the class has helped train our thinking, holding back on jumping to countermeasures before asking basic level questions, and working through PDCA.

First, I want to extend a huge thank you to you for giving your time and talent to helping me develop during the Lean Summit. I am continuing to work on the A3 and have so many ideas as we move forward with audit improvements. Thank you for opening your schedule to the workshop participants Again, I am very thankful for your time and for helping me develop professionally. I am confident that growing these skills will assist in providing the means to improve outcomes for children and families!
