“Monroe Infrared selected Lean East to train our team and we are very happy we did.  Steve Musica has a wealth of business process improvement knowledge and a comfortable style of presenting, engaging and supporting students.  The 2 days spent were powerful for our team, half of which is new in the last 2 years.  Taking time to learn how to better understand what, why, when and how to focus will be immensely beneficial for our team as well as for our vendor partners and clients.  I highly recommend every organization consider Lean East to help improve all aspects of their business processes.”

“Let’s face it giving and receiving healthcare is complex and messy. Our group was ready for change! Using the simple and proven methods of lean six sigma, Steve guided our group in gaining perspective and direction and focusing on our purpose and vision.  Our entire workforce received an introduction to lean healthcare education, and many participated in lean six sigma yellow belt workshops.  Steve was integral in assessing our overall operations and facilitating a leadership retreat, a much-needed health care plan for our hardworking doctors. When it comes to building a culture of synergy and forward movement, Lean East is the right medicine!”

“Lean East opened my eyes to a process-driven lean six sigma methodology that has had immediate impacts on my business.  One of the keys to success has been Steve’s ability to work with my diverse team and their many learning styles.  He has effectively coached my office of executives, sales staff, and office personnel to think alike and understand their processes.  I am convinced we will continue to be successful with the tools that Lean East has provided us.  I confidently recommend Steve and the Lean East team for any service-based/trades industry.”

“Basham & Scott is a growing firm with large national clients that needed strategic planning and operational improvement support. We chose the Lean East team to facilitate a multi-day strategic planning session that determined our priorities. Steve and the team are now helping us review and improve our processes and develop new leaders. We have already seen an improvement in how we use our data, measure the process, and engage our team so they understand their objectives. I highly recommend Lean East for growing businesses.”

“We chose the lean six sigma experts at Lean East (LE) to engage our employees in improving the operational processes that support our MaineCare providers and members, resulting in more streamlined and efficient work processes. LE also provided a lean approach to helping us implement our strategic plan for organizational excellence, focusing on creating a more satisfied and effective workforce. Our team was excited to take a new approach that will help improve the way they work and manage employees. We also leveraged Steve and team to develop strong Key Performance Indicators to measure, monitor, and manage our performance in various business areas. These indicators will help us focus on delivering more value to Maine.”

The Bank is continually focused on improving our employee’s technical tools yet the specifics of what they need is not always clear. Lean East took on the assignment of helping us with this discovery and knocked it out of the park! Conducting a series of focus groups, they engaged our employees to better understand and document what technical areas need attention. Our staff enjoyed working with them and their final report delivered exactly what we were looking for. Lean East is a local company I would recommend without reservation.

“Steve is a teacher and coach that uses a proven process for his projects and stresses that good things will happen when you put the patient first. We have asked Steve to support our performance improvement efforts and Triple Aim initiatives in the coming months. I highly recommend Lean East and Steve for healthcare improvement.”

“We worked with Lean East to improve our training process for new hires and to develop a training program for front-line trainers. Michelle was able to quickly identify areas of opportunity and helped us implement changes – some simple, some more complex – to drive employee engagement and retention. What impressed me the most was Lean East’s eagerness to get under the hood with us and help do the work required to improve, rather than just deliver a list of recommendations. If you want results rather than a to-do list that collects dust, I recommend Lean East.”
