Testimonials - Get Lean!

The following are actual examples of received feedback from clients and students. When you apply lean teaching in your approach, you can also deliver maximum impact to clients, students and value to your universities and business customers.

Darrell was instrumental in reviewing the new physician assistant learning center blueprints and offering suggestions for operational efficiency.  One of my early concerns in the design was to have the classroom, lab space, and faculty office space be operationally efficient.  Darrell reviewed the initial blueprints and offered several valuable suggestions.  In addition, during the construction phase Darrell offered suggestions regarding optimal placement of equipment, network drops and lighting.  He has a keen eye for detail and asked insightful questions during the design process that proved very valuable in creating a quality end product.  Darrell's friendly warm personality, extensive teaching and business experience and his attention to detail make him an outstanding consultant that I would highly recommend for any project.

It has been a pleasure being in your course.
