Our Lean and Six Sigma curricula were developed by former Toyota Engineering and Quality Leaders and GE-certified Six Sigma Master Black Belts, respectively. All training sessions are lead by former GE-certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belts. Our training sessions average 9+ out of 10; references are always available upon request.
Adaptive’s training is designed to be extremely practical and applicable to your daily challenges; we don’t simply teach the theory.
