| LeanIT | Lean IT: Applying the principles of Lean to IT operations | 14 hours | When an enterprise begins a lean transformation, be it in manufacturing, services, or technology, too often the IT department is left out of the picture. Lean IT is a response to this. Lean IT is an extension of Lean principles to information technology (IT), its principle tenet being "the elimination of waste" (work that adds no value to a product or service). In this instructor-led training, participants learn how to unpack the problem of waste in an IT organization. Through the coverage of theory, case-study activities, and hands-on practice with the tools, methods, and metrics needed, participants learn the critical thinking, analytical and communication skills needed to address the problem of waste in IT operations. By way of this interactive process, participants learn how to apply Lean IT principles and practices within their own organization and establish a culture of continuous improvement in IT. At the end of this course, participants will understand the impact and role of the IT department in an organization's Lean transformation. In practical terms, participants will learn how to: measure business performance quantify the return on "innovation" assess business processes and identify waste reduce operating costs improve quality and performance improve service levels, manage change, and take advantage of emerging technologies maintain quality and stability over time make "Lean thinking” an integral part of the enterprise and every IT professional’s toolkit Audience Managers and specialists working in an IT Organization Format of the course Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and hands-on practice Introduction Lean IT: the intersection of Lean, Six Sigma, and Information Systems.

Course Description: Train your team to make the MOST of your business! - Did you know that in business negotiations where you hold your meetings can make upto a 50% difference in the share of the pie you negotiate? - Did you know that serious studies show that there are at least TWO things you can do in the 15 minutes before a BIG meeting that can make the difference between success and failure? - Did you know that by adding one counter-intuitive option to a list of two options for a customer can boost sales by up to 43%? Did you know the time of day you schedule your meetings can have a big impact on their likelihood of success or failure? - Did you know that in one large experiment, one simple practice moved the percentage of deals closed from 12.5% to 67% -- and that these closed deals were also 18% more beneficial to both parties? - Did you know that with presentations, within 7 seconds your audience has judged everything about your trustworthiness, believability, and more -- and there are a handful of things you can do to influence this? We cover these phenomena and many others, which, if implemented and concentrated on can revolutionise your business and increase your conversions and profitability. Not just for businesses of every kind, but anyone who runs their own personal brand.

It's like a 7th generation smart phone for your pricing designed by someone who was responsible for training in the marketing and sales department of the world's biggest biotech company which had both B2C and B2B operations. Awards: A shortened version of this training program, developed by Philippe -- who was responsible for training in the marketing and sales department of the world's biggest biotech company -- won its presenter, "Top Trainer" at the 2016 B2B Master conference in Kiev. Course Description: When asked to choose a pricing order which would maximize revenue in a sales situation, 95% of managers, directors, even CEOs of huge internet companies choose the option which would cost them almost 45% of sales. Learn how to create pricing environments and product matrixes which have been shown again and again to make customers and clients feel more comfortable spending money, using ideas developed and researched by some of the world's biggest companies and Nobel prize winners. Achieve 15%, 23%, 43%, and greater increases in sales and revenue with simple, low cost strategies which are applicable in virtually every aspect of B2B sales.

It is the next level up from the Presenting with Confidence course. By the end of the course, delegates will be able to: Prepare, structure and deliver an effective presentation to a high quality level Define the levels of energy, involvement and engagement required to convince an audience Act flexibly in delivering presentations: to be able to adapt the presentation to developing circumstances – perhaps through a last-minute chance of objective or unexpected time pressures Presentation Skills As with Presenting with Confidence: delivery of a pre-prepared presentation on the delegate’s chosen subject related to their work. It is expected that this Presentation will already be of high-quality and just need refining to add the “High Impact” elements N.B. The duration of each delegate presentation will depend on the length of the course and on the number of participants. Eight is the ideal number of participants Full one-to-one and group feedback Creating a High Impact Presentation Understanding what turns an “ordinary” presentation into a High Impact Presentation The synchronisation of material: spoken material, visual material, support material Detailed work on the structure and format of a presentation The Psychology of the Presenter Creating and communicating belief and conviction Understanding the required levels of involvement and engagement: from the presenter and from the audience Creating a personal brand Flexibility Understanding the importance of Fog Horn Messages Adapting the presentation “on the hoof” Getting the message across Dealing with changed circumstances: last-minute alterations to the audience’s requirements; revisions to timings Presentation Skills – revisited Delivery of another presentation (after suitable preparation time). N.B. This could be the same presentation as in Module 1 but revised following the detailed feedback Full one-to-one and group feedback Presentation Skills – revisited If time permits: delivery of another presentation (after suitable preparation time) Full one-to-one and group feedback N.B. Depending on group ability and requirements, this could include the preparation and delivery of an ad hoc presentation. It is never recommended to deliver presentations without sufficient preparation but sometimes business circumstances dictate that this is necessary and a presenter at this level should be able to structure a few minutes of high quality presentation, as required. |

| PRICES101 | B2B Power Pricing! 12 Principles of Pricing Strategy To Boost B2B Profits - 1 Day Course | 7 hours | This is the one day version of the award winning course that helps you stop leaving money on the table, convert more sales, get bigger judgements, and gets your customer to perceive more value in your product offering while making them feel more comfortable spending money. It's like a 7th generation smart phone for your pricing designed by someone who was responsible for training in the marketing and sales department of the world's biggest biotech company which had both B2C and B2B operations. Awards: A shortened version of this training program, developed by Philippe -- who was responsible for training in the marketing and sales department of the world's biggest biotech company -- won its presenter, "Top Trainer" at the 2016 B2B Master conference in Kiev. Course Description: When asked to choose a pricing order which would maximize revenue in a sales situation, 95% of managers, directors, even CEOs of huge internet companies choose the option which would cost them almost 45% of sales. Learn how to create pricing environments and product matrixes which have been shown again and again to make customers and clients feel more comfortable spending money, using ideas developed and researched by some of the world's biggest companies and Nobel prize winners. Achieve 15%, 23%, 43%, and greater increases in sales and revenue with simple, low cost strategies which are applicable in virtually every aspect of B2B sales. Every entrepreneur, director, graphic designer, sales manager, consultant, advertising specialist, and human being responsible for their own brand should see this seminar at least once in their lives. Indeed, it is essential knowledge for those in the R&D department and tasked with developing new products because an understanding of how customers see a product matrix and spend money within it are key and can lead to significantly different levels of revenue and profit for the company. A lot has changed in the world in the last 60 years. You’re not communicating with technology from the 1960s, like snail mail – or clunky typewriters. In the time it has taken for us to develop our communication tools of today, Nobel Prize winning economists and other researchers have forged ahead in the understanding of human behaviour. You will be exposed to case studies and study after study in field after field of pricing, value estimation and purchase decision making to discover common threads in human behaviour and how to create both more perceived value in your product line offering as well as increase sales for year-end reports. You will learn to guide decisions of your customers with phenomenon so powerful they work in every field from pricing to human mate selection to world renowned “magic” acts (who are quick to admit there is no magic, but only psychology). You will never look at your prices the same way again. What You Will Learn To Boost Your Business: By taking this course, you will: - Better understand the pricing strategies of the world's biggest companies - Get a leap ahead of the competition in the sales arms race - Learn how to create a pricing environment which makes your customers feel more comfortable spending money - Learn and, importantly, UNDERSTAND, the proper order of pricing presentation in many negotiation and sales situations and why the wrong order can cost you 45% of your sales - Learn how to create a product and pricing matrix which can increase product sales by up to 34% - Learn how to ask a question which will double or triple the price paid for a bottle of wine at auction - Learn how to add one inexpensive counter-intuitive option to product options which can increase sales by up to 40% - Learn how one company raised prices by 10% and increased revenue by 95% and why this worked - Learn how to implement several interesting pricing strategies of successful businesses as revealed by some of the world's greatest business strategy researchers - Learn how to implement pricing strategies to reposition your brand on a market wide basis - Learn how to better design your store layout and/or brochures for more sales - Learn how to create a pricing environment which will guide your customers to options which are more profitable for you - Improve your skills in advertisement layout and merchandise display based on key psychological principles - Learn how to create product packages which will increase sales without increasing prices - Learn how to use some items to create a demand for other items - Learn how to increase the perception of value and quality using price - TAKE MOST OF THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR PRICING What People Have To Say: "While we worked together at the world's biggest biotech company, and Philippe did training in our marketing and sales department, he came up with more good ideas in one week than our whole company came up with in a year. Every business, executive, manager, and entrepreneur should hear his pricing and business seminars once." Michael Ketcham, Former Sales Manager - Monsanto Saint Louis, Missouri, USA "I have been successfully managing sales for decades and I can say this is a mind taking and action provoking session -- with sparks! I highly recommend it." Anton Yatchenko Sony (Co-Owner 12 Moscow Stores) "Worth every Euro. Fascinating."

| bddfornonprogrammers | BDD for Non-Programmers: Live workshop | 14 hours | BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an Agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, quality assurance teams and non-technical business people throughout the planning, development and testing cycle of a software project. The workshop begins with an introduction to BDD, what it is and how it is used by companies to promote good software design, development and testing. We do this from a non-engineering point-of-view, with an eye on the end-users, their requirements, language, and way of thinking. We also address the communication challenges that business stakeholders are likely to encounter as they work closer with their technical-minded peers. By the end of this training, participants will know how to: Write succinct user stories that capture the usage patterns of real users of the software Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then) Derive test cases from these stories, for use by engineers to implement and test Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases Demystify the technical jargon that impedes communication and understanding Install and use great tools for writing BDD feature files Understand and appreciate what happens once the work is handed to engineers Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle Audience Product owners and managers Business analysts Manual testers End-users of a software product or system Non-engineers and non-coders involved in product design Format of the course A interactive, instructor-led workshop with lots of activities and hands-on practice. Notes The workshop includes cases and software samples from the instructor's own experience. To customize the materials to your company's product and situation, please contact us to arrange.

| busics | Business Communication Skills | 35 hours | Communication skills have long been recognised as essential to professional success and many a career has stalled, faltered or stagnated thanks to a lack of communication skills. Contrary to urban myth, few of us are born with this skill, instead most have either practised or learned from mistakes. This course is designed to assist delegates to improve their communication skills and in consequence their ability to work with others. Mediation skills are subtly yet meaningfully different. Excellent communication is a pre-requisite but more important is the ability to listen and take note of what is being said. The role of the mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problem and to arrive at an outcome that both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. This course also covers the wider range of skills, in addition to communication, that are required to be an effective mediator.

| JMM_BUY | The Buyers Mind | hours | We all buy stuff but when we're excited or under pressure we can often make buying decisions that we later come to regret. A safe bet is to stick with known brands or a preferred supplier which often means paying more because it feels safer. This can be costly especially when you're working on a tight budget, or if the competition is beating you on price. So how can you increase your bottom line? Your top sales team will meet their targets and in turn be rewarded handsomely simply because they can move a lot of stock or services that your provide. However, this also means you an increase in work load, produce more, more wages, more energy, more logistics, more postage and packaging. As you know the net difference is your sales minus your costs which includes all the production costs plus the amount you pay to your suppliers. Many buyers will have a list of preferred suppliers which means they will ignore and accept the creeping price increases in order to save them valuable time spent in researching new companies because sticking with existing suppliers is a safe bet but it doesn't keep you or your business competitive. This brief course will give you an insight to how the mind of a buyer works. We explore the internal thinking strategies buyers use and the persuasion techniques sales people use to extract you from your hard earned cash. For example; Suppliers of NHS consumables, or suppliers of Military spec components will charge up to 500% more for the items found commercially which are identical in fitness, form and functionality. Buying is often overlooked as a means to increase profit margins. Forewarned is forearmed. Learn to recognise the 8 short cuts (S.L.A.C.K.E.R.S.) which our brain uses to save glucose when making buying decision. You’ll leave the workshop with the tools and strategies to rethink your own buying habits. Aims of the course include: Helping you cope with the way your brain reacts and instead implement more effective buying strategies. Helping you to cope better with uncertainty and retain control in negotiations. To give you a deeper understanding of your mind which will lead to greater calm during adversity. Outcomes of the course will include: Attendees will be able to improve their bottom line by evaluating their present buying strategies before implementing new ways to make buying decisions. BONUS Get to understand how the sales meta program works. (A brief outline of 'The Sales Hand') Learn how a good salesman operates on your mind. |

Week 2 Practitioner: provides additional data analysis and lean tools for participants to lead well scoped process improvement projects related to their regular job function. Week 3 Expert: provides regression, design of experiment and data analysis techniques to enable participants to tackle complex problem solving projects that require understanding of the relationships between multiple variables. The trainer has 16 years experience with Six Sigma and as well as leading the deployment of Six Sigma at a number of businesses he has trained and coached over 300 Black Belts. Here are a few comments from previous participants: “Probably the most valuable course I will ever pass” “The content was very well delivered. The examples very relevant. Thank you” “The course was excellent and I am able to use part of it to coach my lean teams here” (Company supervisor who attended with KTP associate) Block 1 Day 1 Introduction to Six Sigma Project Chartering & VOC Process Mapping Stakeholder analysis Day 2 Team Start Up Prioritisation Matrix Lean Thinking Value Stream Mapping Day 3 Data Collection Minitab and Graphical Analysis Descriptive Statistics Day 4 Measurement System Evaluation Process Capability Cp, CpK Six Sigma Metrics Day 5 5 Why FMEA Block 2 Day 1 Review of Block 1 Multivari Inferential Statistics Intro to Hypothesis Testing Day 2 2 sample t-tests F tests Hypothesis Testing – Chi Sq Day 3 Hypothesis Testing - Anova Day 4 Correlation and Regression Multiple Regression Introduction to Design Of Experiments Day 5 Mistake Proofing Control Plans Control Charts Block 3 Day 1 Review of Block 2 2K Factorial Experiments Box Cox Transformations Hypothesis Testing – Non Parametric Day 2 2K Factorial Experiments Fractional Factorial Experiments Day 3 Noise Blocking Robustness Centre Points General Full Factorial Experiments Day 4 Response Surface Experiments Implementing Improvements Creative Solutions Day 5 Intro to Design for Six Sigma Statistical Tolerancing Monte Carlo Simulation Certification Six Sigma is a practical qualification, to demonstrate knowledge of what has been learnt on the course you will need to undertake 2 coursework projects. There is no report to produce but you will be required to present a PowerPoint presentation to the trainer and examiner showing results and method. The projects can cover work you would complete in your normal work, however you will need to show use of the DMAIC problem solving approach and application of Six Sigma and Lean tools. This provides a good balance between the practical approach and more rigorous analysis which together lead to robust solutions. You will be able to contact the trainer for discussions of how Six Sigma tools could benefit you in your project. Examples of projects from previous participants include: Formulating cream texture for seasonality in dairy feeds. Housing Association complaints reduction Multi-variable (cost, efficiency, size) optimisation of a fuel cell Job Scheduling improvement in a factory Ambulance waiting time reduction Reduction in resin thickness variation in glass manufacture NobleProg & Redlands provide Black Belt certification. For delegates that require independent accreditation, NobleProg & Redlands have partnered with the British Quality Foundation (BQF) to provide Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification. Certification requires passing an exam at the end of the course and completing and presenting two improvement projects that demonstrate understanding and application of the Six Sigma approach and techniques. An additional charge of £600 plus VAT is levied for BQF independent accreditation. |

How do we know how successful this existing Strategy is? How can we identify the gaps – where is the shortfall in performance What information should be gathered on the “To Be” – the preferred position in the future: What might the constraints be – the limiting factors – to achieving success: How is a Business Case prepared which helps justify the emerging Strategy to the company’s Senior Management? This will focus on: Budgets Critical Success Factors (CSFs) Measurement Continuous Management and Assessment Delivery Channels How do customers access our products and services? How do customers want to access our products and services? Are we flexible in meeting customers’ access needs? What does the future look like for delivery channels?

| eraamauml | Efficient Requirement Management using Agile Methods and Agile UML Modeling | 21 hours | Objective: This training course aims at helping product managers, products owners, business analysts, system architects and developers understand how to efficiently Manage Requirements on the basis of the product vision till guiding developers accurately in implementing them. More in detail, this course aims at assisting product managers in better defining the value propositions of their products on the basis of strategies and stakeholder needs. Business Analysts and product owners understand how to describe requirements of the product backlog then discover appropriate epics and user stories of the system while contributing to the required value creation. Along interactive case study exercises, participants learn how to describe in detail such requirements in order to validate correct understanding of needs and prepare system acceptance tests. Thus, only using a very common and productive UML profile, they learn to structure requirements in order to communicate efficiently with architects and developers through an iterative requirement gathering process. Audience: Product Managers Product Owners Business Analysts Anyone interetsted in the Requirements Management Process Introduction What is the Requirement Management Process ? Why Agile ? Business agility and agile software delivery : Definitions Linking Agile to Business : Business Motivation Model vs. Business Model Canvas, How to effciently use the Value Proposition Canvas for defining the Product Vision ?

| oobdp | Object Oriented Design using Design Patterns | 14 hours | Objective: Helping Technical Analysts and Designers to understand how to go through software implementation of the requirements, ensuring traceability between business specifications and the software code. This 2 day training course aims at assisting technical analysts and designers in designing specifications described by the business analysts. After transformation into software component representations, the resulting system components trace system requirements toward software component structures. Finally, these technical specifications are implemented in software code and tested upon component basis. The resulting software components provide good level of reactivity to changes as they allow to trace separately toward the implementation level the system behaviours layer by layer (from the user interfaces toward business objects layer through the application components where the usage choices of the actors are stored. Introduction What is the System Analysis and Design Process? Place of the Analysis and Design activities in the Unified Process (RUP) A panorama of UML 2 diagrams used in the system analysis and design Frameworks for tracing requirements toward software implementation and tests How to transform requirements into component based analysis specifications? Traceability between requirements and system analysis Advanced notions for representing the system structure and dynamics Refinement of the requirements on both axis Toward the system design using operation contracts Case Study : Definition of the analysis component model of the system How to transform analysis specifications into design level ones? Traceability between system analysis and design Design Patterns for loose coupling and high cohesion of components Definition of the Design level Architectural Backbone of the system (components, ports, interfaces, exchange objects) Design level interaction diagrams to implement operation contracts Case Study : Updating design level component diagram with architectural choices Implementing technical specifications and testing on a component basis Generating design level specifications into an object oriented programming language Deployment of Components on the Physical Nodes Integration and Acceptance tests on the basis of the previous specifications Conclusion Steps of the system analysis and design processes Patterns for ensuring traceability between requirements and the software code Testing requirements on the system architecture Notice: The above training-mentoring sessions are conducted interactively using Requirement Engineering and Modeling tools in order to ensure good level of traceability between requirements and underlying solutions. Concepts are explained first using basic examples and are then followed by solution drafts to your own issues. After this session, we can accompany you by reviewing and validating your solutions depending on your needs. |
