Get better every day by folding Lean concepts into your company culture

  • As an organizational leader, it’s easy to develop blind spots that hold you and your company back. But with ongoing training, you can learn to see your organization through new lenses, develop new insights and perspectives, and achieve true breakthroughs.

    Our leadership training courses are custom-tailored to each of our clients, and often involve working with you on areas like giving and receiving feedback, handling difficult conversations, setting goals, becoming a better coach or mentor, and managing change, conflict, or generational diversity.

    Your, or your leadership team’s, professional development starts with a simple conversation. Contact us to discuss your leadership training plan today.

  • Team building is an essential component of all organizations for employees to learn, communicate and work together effectively. Many employers fail to recognize the value of team-building activities and discussions but when a team can effectively work together towards a single goal utilizing the skills and competencies of each team member, the entire company and the individual employees will all benefit. High-performing teams exhibit accountability, purpose, cohesiveness, and collaboration.  Our highly interactive team building program strengthens every aspect of team leadership skills. Our training focuses on skills needed to develop stronger collaboration, unity, communication, and support that are needed to achieve organizational goals.  The program challenges team members to explore their strengths and opportunities for growth, while appreciating the strengths and diversity of each member of the team.

  • At the heart of all client relationships is Customer Service. Whether your team works with internal or external customers, those relations need to be built on a foundation of trust. Our Customer Service coursework focuses on building skills to create an environment of ownership and individualization where everyone wants to be a part!

  • In each organization, there is most likely that one person that everyone taps for training needs. Being able to build bench strength within the organization is crucial to success. Our Train the Trainer coursework focuses on building skills to help others grow within the training environment.

  • Repurchase, remain and recommend. That’s the crux of a successful sales interaction. Relationship building is the key to any successful sales strategy. What differentiates one organization from another is the ability to create lasting client relationships. If this is done successfully, when a customer or client needs something, they will automatically turn to you. Our Sales Skills coursework focuses on understanding how to build lasting successful relationships with your customers to help your business grow.

  • Are you looking for ways to create a revolution in your business? That is to reduce waste, increase customer satisfaction and revenues! Lean can help you achieve significant results. We have been working with companies in the distribution, medical, food services, manufacturing, banking, and construction industries. These series of workshops explain in simple, step-by-step terms how to:

    • Identify and eliminate waste in your processes

    • Introduce the lean principles into your processes

    • Standardize and sustain lean flows of material and information

    • Spread the success to all aspects of the business

  • Many companies, managers and employees are guilty of treating employee performance management as a required yearly event that needs to happen rather than an annual process that can foster employee engagement and support employee development.  Effective, meaningful performance management plays a critical role in a company’s success and an employees’ growth and development.  Our training focuses on teaching managers how to accomplish or facilitate work through others, and how to direct and develop their employees and how to help them set meaningful and effective goals and objectives for their personal and professional growth.  Great performance management includes ongoing, two-way dialogue with your employees about expectations, opportunities, priorities and performance. Our training helps managers focus on developing their employees, to ensure their success and to maximize their contributions to the organization.

  • Leaders and employees at all levels must develop effective communication skills to build strong collaborative working relationships based on trust and respect.  Our communication course provides the tools and skills needed to manage various types of situations in the workplace with a adaptable, authentic, and confident approach.  Participants will learn to communicate effectively with simple, concise language and with the correct approach.  They will learn to enhance their listening skills to anticipate and avoid misunderstandings and to help deal with difficult situations.  By the end of the course participants will understand how to take advantage of their communication strengths, recognize their weaknesses, effectively use communication tools and how to better handle difficult discussions.

We’d love to help your organization achieve better business results through a custom training and development program.

TESTIMONIALS

  • John DuBois has my highest recommendation as a consultant.

    John Dubois has my highest recommendation as a consultant. I have worked with John on a number of exciting Projects over the last few years. His ability to learn a business, make effective recommendations, facilitate rambunctious groups smoothly and keep organizational progress moving forward is exceptional. He directly contributed to the development of new Shipyard processes, as well as in the improvement of various Submarine Team One efforts. As a client, I could count on him not to sugar-coat or weasel word his feedback, but to make it effective and dead-on. We received great value for the work that we retained him for.

  • Tandem always goes the extra mile to guarantee success.

    Ordinarily it is enough to say that someone was trained by a Toyota Sensei. In John’s case that does not tell the whole story. Over the passed 15+ years he has been able build upon that training to become one of the most effective communicators I have ever worked with. His command of the lean tools and techniques aside, he has a unique ability to instantly create rapport with all levels of an organization. Whether he is delivering a Kaizen event or training an introductory class you can be assured that the entire audience, from the janitor to the CEO, will walk away with a thorough appreciation and understanding of the material. He understands that there is not a one size fits all approach to motivating people and he always goes the extra mile to guarantee success.

  • We learned so much in a small time span

    Thank you for bringing your expertise to us and for helping us improve our Supervisory/Managerial soft skills. Our team was very nervous about attending the class however at the end they were all very positive and happy to have learned so much in a small time span.

    We are all excited to begin using new skills in the workplace. I am anxious to see the changes in our Supervisors/Managers as they continue to grow and add more “tools” to their tool boxes.

    As always, you were a joy to work with. You are personable, understanding and enthusiastic about your material. I am very happy to have worked with Tandem and with you again.
