Jeff Adams, General Manager, Performance Improvement, Canadian Pacific Railway

The start of Nuheat’s Lean journey 4 years ago made sense as it fit the fast paced and deeply caring culture of Nuheat’s employees.  Fast growth and fast change made it necessary for Nuheat to adopt a framework of continuous improvement.  Lean was the framework that allowed us to drive waste out of the organization and grow to be a more productive and proactive company.

The eminently qualified David and his LSI team’s “Coach not Consult” philosophy is not only powerfully effective but transformational.
