I recently attended (and passed) the PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner course at Silicon Beach and cannot recommend it enough. The brilliant trainer brought the subject matter to life making it interesting and integrating PRINCE2 into my day to day working life has been made so simple – a real life skill. A great location too – thank you Silicon Beach.

New Six Sigma Case Study in our Free Resources section
Read about our latest Six Sigma Training success story at Hachette UK
In addition to the public Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training and Six Sigma Black Belt training courses we run here in Brighton, we’re often asked to provide bespoke courses with content tailored around our clients’ own projects and processes.
In 2009, Hachette UK - the country’s largest publishing group – approached us to deliver Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training for their IT department.
This training was based around the IT department’s transactional processes, and was so successful that Hachette asked us to come up with some tailored Six Sigma training for their two distribution centres, Bookpoint and Littlehampton Book Services.
The Lean Six Sigma training programme we put together was completely bespoke, and contained extensive action learning, based around running real-life projects between the Lean courses.
Training at Bookpoint took place throughout 2009 and has not only shown real process improvements already, but has left Hachette with an internal Six Sigma training course that they can run themselves as new Six Sigma projects are launched, ensuring that process impovement is continuous.
And we’re already seeing promising signs of the same at Littlehampton Book Services, where training is almost complete.

OK, so there’s a recession on and we’re all trying to find ways to increase our revenues and profit. One way we can do that is make more sales, or find other ways to increase the money coming in.
However – another equally effective way to increase profit is to reduce outgoings, and a great place to start is to look at reducing waste in business processes.
This is where Lean Training can really help your business. Lean Principles will help you to identify where your processes are inefficient and where this is having the biggest impact on your customers.
Below we’ve provided a list of the 7 deadly wastes - if you recognise any of these in any of your business processes they’re most likely not as lean as they could be, and one of our practical Lean Training Courses could help you.
