WHO IS BEHIND THE COMPANY

We would like to share with you who we are, why we are here and where we are walking.

Our story begins in 2004 when we became partners of Kaizen Institute Global and this alliance lasted 17 years. At the beginning, we went on study visits to Japan many times, primarily to Toyota plants and other Japanese companies to gain not only an overview of lean instruments, but also the mindset and values ​​of the Japanese nation.

This is how our company's "DNA" was created.

This was followed by many years of efforts and the search for the most reliable methods to support the change of managers' style from "firefighters" to "problem solvers in an objective way".

The change in managerial style is based on a change in the work habits of managers from top to foreman. Their sensitivity to wasting corporate resources and skills for systematic detection and elimination.

Our philosophy and goal is a culture of mutual respect and the involvement of managers and employees in improvement. The means to achieve such a culture is a long-term process of gradual change in accordance with top management and business owners.

The result is a gradual improvement of the company in the use of available resources on the way to: "world-class process optimization", higher motivation of managers and employees.

As working tools, we use counseling, coaching, lean training, benchmark visits to our partners' companies to break the "mindset" - even if it hurts from the beginning.

In the process of the advent of Industry 4.0, we began to deal with low-cost automation, the deployment of collaborative robots and automation of office processes, social and psychological, qualification impacts on managers and employees.

On our journey, we created and developed a team of international consultants and lecturers, in addition to the Czech Republic and Poland, Germany, India, Japan with a reach to China and Australia.
