Il corso è rivolto a principianti dell'argomento, con una introduzione generale ai vari concetti. L'approccio è positivo: teoria/casi/strumenti, tuttavia li ho trovati un po' troppo accademici e difficilmente utilizzabili nella realtà. Ho apprezzato molto, invece, la condivisione dei template che possono risultare molto utili e velocizzare l'implementazione.

My personal experience is pretty good as this course has a step by step constructive approach of using lean for many problem solving issues. The instructor is clear to the points. I first had issues of downloading the resources but I sorted that out after rewatching the first video. This is my 3rd course on lean management (first online) and still I could discover so many things that I didn't found on other platforms.
