    In reality, it is just a tall hill, because we have many more process improvement and English language episodes coming up.

    2026/07/13

    Welcome to the final episode of our 4-part series; Agile Project Management

    Today, we will conclude this series on the most popular and, in my opinion, useful process improvement methodologies. After listening to part 1 and 2 of this episode, you will find yourself with new confidence with your English and your problem-solving skills. My students claim they can now see the future, control the weather and talk to animals. Of course, those are my students who live in the insane asylum, but anyway.

    I really hope you enjoy this material. Send me an email at info@leanenglishconsulting.com if you have any questions or comments. I would love to hear from you. Thanks so much for spending your time with me.

    Best regards,

    Tom

  • Episode 3, Part 1; Six Sigma
    2026/07/13

    Welcome to our third episode; Six Sigma.

    Six Sigma is the most technically advanced methods we will discuss, so I try to lay out the foundation in part 1. Then, like our episode in Lean, I will cover the phases in more detail and talk about the tools for each.

    There is a lot of statistical analysis that Six Sigma uses that will not cover because it is just too confusing. However, we will have episodes dedicated to that material in the future, so be patient.

    If there is something specific you would like to hear about, send me an email at info@leanenglishconsulting.com. I will respond as soon as I can. Thanks so much for spending your time with me.

    Best regards,

    Tom
