The Luminous Group has led hundreds of companies in process improvement workshops. We have been around since 1999, and each of our training experts has more than 30 years of experience in their field.  We utilize our experience with many companies like yours to nurture an impactful learning environment.

All of our workshops are interactive, with learning activities directed toward actual issues and opportunities within the organization.  Skill development and application of the tools and techniques learned during workshops have helped some clients save up to $250,000.  The Luminous Group’s training workshops include:

“Each training engagement has been approached in a very thorough manner. Your expertise does not begin or end with the delivery of the workshop. Pre-meetings to obtain information about specific needs, as well as follow-up after the workshop to ensure that all issues have been addressed, represent The Luminous Group’s dedication to delivering a total training package.

We are continually impressed with your subject-matter expertise, but, more importantly, we appreciate your ability to obtain audience participation throughout the workshops.”

“Your training approach was key to gaining the cooperation of a very diverse team of individuals, ranging from engineers and sales people to hourly employees. You were very professional and did an excellent job of making everyone feel at ease. Your case studies and experience with other suppliers were very helpful. You were especially good at developing open communication resulting in candid feedback and questions. I also appreciated the coaching that you provided to me throughout the process.

I, as well as the other managers here at ITT, believe that your workshop was by far the best training class we’ve ever had. The use of a diversified workforce, and individuals outside the area under study, allowed for fresh eyes to look at the process from different viewpoints. As a result we have reduced overhead, labor content for the process and cycle time.”
