A Personal MessageA Grand Adventure
"Adventure" and "discovery" imply risk—unknowns. This is why we explore real problems and situations from the participants' own workplace. Nobody knows exactly what will emerge. What does emerge is nearly always stimulating and full of lessons. Email or call me anytime—no obligation for a phone call. Quarterman Lee, 816-931-1414 |
Our ProgramsTargeted—Practical—EngagingGive your people the skills to solve their own problems. We provide training that addresses the specific situations they face every day. Often with a case study from your own facility. The result is a trained cadre of employees and an actual:
Strategos programs employ proven principles of Adult Learning. They are full of videos, dialogue, exercises and experiential learning. Instructional methods alternate frequently to maintain interest and address the learning modes of individual participants. Our "Learning Team" approach engages participants, increases discussion and allows for large overall sessions (50 or more). Go To Standard Program Listing >> |
Program Formats Standard TopicsEconomic & EffectiveStandard Programs Cost-Effective & Convenient Training for Your Team
Our standard programs are effective and economic for pre-defined topics. They have been refined over many presentations. These programs use Team Learning and can accommodate large sessions of up to 50+ participants while enhancing the learning experience. We can customize most programs to fit your team's needs.  Customized TopicsTailor Made for Your TeamCustomized Programs Tailor Made for Your Team
We can design programs around your firm's terminology, production system philosophy, specific needs or technologies. When based upon our standard programs, they are cost-effective. If you are having difficulty finding the program that addresses the specific topics you require, call us to discuss the possibilities. (816-931-1414)  Kaizen & Action LearningLearn & Do ConcurrentlyKaizen Events/Action Learning Learn & Do Simultaneously
We can incorporate mini-kaizen events in most of our training programs. Here, teams of participants apply their new skills and knowledge to specific, practical problems from their own workplace. Under the guidance of an experienced Strategos facilitator and with new techniques freshly in mind, these teams show remarkable success in a very short time. These events might range from a 1-day 5S Kaizen to a one-week workcell design. We have used kaizen events for Value Stream Mapping Projects and also for plant layout projects where the actual implementation comes at a later date. If you think that such an approach would be useful in your situation, call us to discuss it and plan an initial scope.  Training KitsConduct Your Own TrainingTraining Kits Conduct Your Own Training
Training Kits allow firms to conduct high-quality training with their own instructors. They are effective when basic subjects are taught to a large number of employees. They are also effective for periodic training of new employees. These kits include a screen presentation, workbook, instructor manual and other materials required to conduct multiple class sessions. Most of our kits are supplied by Enna and are available for selected topics Program Delivery Live OnsiteIn Your Own Meeting RoomLive Onsite Still The Best Way To Train
For most Lean topics, there is no substitute for a live instructor, interacting with your people discussing their issues and using examples and exercises from their own operations. Our onsite programs range from half-day employee orientations to full-blown week-long Kaizen events. Many use our standard programs as a basis but incorporate actual exercises and projects from your facility. This type of workshop is especially good for many Lean topics that are counter-intuitive and require an actual experience to appreciate.  OnlineConvenient & Effective for Selected TopicsLive Online Convenient & Effective for Selected Topics
We offer online training in a live format for several topics that suit this medium. With our programs, your learning team meets in your conference room weekly for 1-2 hours. Our instructor joins online for discussion and presentation. The teams work on "homework" assignments between sessions. The homework includes exercises and a major project from their own operations. With this format your people have time for reflection and internalization. They also have time to complete a Kaizen project that would not normally be feasible within the confines of training.

Our InstructorsExperienced—Knowledgeable—AuthoritativeYour people will learn more, gain more practical knowledge and stay more engaged with Strategos instructors. Our instructors and program developers have extensive backgrounds in Adult Education as well as the specific topics. Most have learned their craft from pre-eminent seminar companies. They have a vast store of anecdotes and examples from their industrial experience and often go "off script" to address specific issues raised in class. This requires experience and a confidence that is often missing in adult training. |
