Successful manufacturing businesses know the competitive advantage that comes from a Lean Management culture. From adapting the Toyota Production System and embracing the Toyota Way philosophy. It’s highly valued, and highly effective. But only when it works. Only when you make excellence a habit, not an aspiration.
The pursuit of excellence is achievable through adopting a TPS culture, but 90% of companies fail. Because they continue to do the wrong things. They can’t implement or sustain a Lean culture mindset.
They need inspiration. Education. Guidance.
They need True North Excellence.
We inspire, we train, and we sustain your success.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Will Durant 1926, inspired by Aristotle

“I was a little sceptical going into the 'online' training course, however it has been great. Fantastic to take some time out to reflect, revisit some previously learned competencies and learn new ways of thinking and addressing issues...….great work guys !”
D LawsonOperations Director, Dover Fueling Solutions, November 2020
“I have really enjoyed it and found it to be engaging and inspiring. The blend of training and coaching is particularly effective. The management of the virtual meetings is done really well, and the environment is friendly. In many ways I prefer this delivery method to an off-site training course. It avoids the travel and time away from work. And the way the course is spread over time allows the content to be digested and explored in more practical ways with the coach.”
K GriceManufacturing Manager, Hexion, November 2020
“I expected the virtual course it to be of a high standard and it has been. I think the coaching is a masterstroke which has taken the course to a much more meaningful level. i like that the course uses a broad series of techniques and experience which are not just the usual suspects.”
L BarkerOperations Director, Dakin Flathers Ltd, December 2020
