“Scott is an exceptional trainer. Not only does he know his "stuff", but he is able to present it in a way that is understandable. The class was quite comprehensive and at the same time it was fun. I will recommend him to others. I received green belt training from a different organization, and it does not compare to the training I received from Scott.”
Brian Regan, (Bemis)

“Scott's presentation of the material was outstanding. His method of teaching made learning Six Sigma enjoyable.”
AJ Rock, (Bemis)

“Scott did an excellent job presenting the material. The examples were easy to follow. He does a great job of tying all the information together and demonstrating how it applies to real life problems. Light bulbs of opportunity kept going off in my head of how we could use Six Sigma and DFSS in our organization.”
Tim Hammond, (Waterfurnace International, Inc.)

“I have attended GM Quality Network, 5-Phase, Lean, and synchronous manufacturing classes while holding the position of Quality Network and Synchronous manufacturing coordinator at a GM Saginaw Division Plant. At Bosch I held the position of CIP Coordinator over four years. I have facilitated many Lead Time Analysis, Process Mapping, 5S, and Lean workshops. I have never experienced training that I felt could have such a positive influence on an organization like Six Sigma. The experience was extremely value added.”
Allen Barnhart, (Robert Bosch Corporation)

“Scott is an exceptional instructor.  He has the ability to deliver very difficult material in an approachable manner.  His use of video clips enables you to bring the concepts found in the text and use them in daily applications regardless of what field you’re in.  He is extremely knowledgeable and has what it takes to be an effective instructor. Scott takes the time to answer questions, and does so in a patient manner.  He has a great sense of humor, which helped our class open up.  By far, Scott Lasater is the best instructor I have had in any training in my career.” 

“Rating 15 out of 10.  Thinking back about all the teachers I had during my student and professional careers, Scott is at the top of the list!”

“I have an MBA from SMU and I value my blackbelt and my MBA equally.  And I believe that the blackbelt delivers more value to my company than the MBA.”

"Lean Six Sigma BB training is excellent.  The instructor masterfully manages to teach very technical material using very simple concepts easy to follow and to relate/connect to the real world.  It is of great value to see the Lean Six Sigma applicability to other processes out of the manufacturing environment. Congratulations!!! " 
J.E.L., Sr. Quality Engineer, A Fortune 50 integrated circuit manufacturer.

“After being in industry for 34 years, I have not found another program with the rigor as this program.  This program is now being taught to all our exempt employees in either a green belt or black belt forum.  I totally enjoyed the content and the instructor.”

“Scott's experience, creativity, and sense of humor all contribute to an unusually effective learning environment.  He provides a variety of examples, simulations, and practice problems, giving students an opportunity to apply the principles of Lean Six Sigma to realistic situations.  He also uses a variety of media - visual aids and video clips as well as computer practice - to engage the students.  The job aids provided with the material (hypothesis map, sample size calculator, etc.) continue to be useful well beyond the classroom, and I constantly use my notes from the class as a reference.   Scott has an unparalleled ability to explain statistical concepts in practical ways, so that students with no formal statistical training can quickly grasp the meaning behind the jargon and apply the tools without fear.” 

“I can't tell you how many training events I have gone to in the last 20 years but I must say that Scott is one of the best, if not the best, presenters I have ever listened to. Scott was able to take complicated material and deliver it in a way that the common layperson (like myself) understood without boring others, like the engineers and trained black belts, in the room. He jazzed up the presentation with video clips and hands-on activities that really made the material make sense in a fun way.”
Barb Briggs, Manpower

“I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical about Lean Six Sigma; what it is and how it could be applied. The Scott gave an excellent overview of what Lean Six Sigma is and showed us very practical applications of how it can be used. I can honestly say that there was not a moment during the two days that I was not focused on what the instructor was saying.”
Tim Dunleavy, Vulcan Materials

“We highly recommend the Six Sigma training and support provided by the TQM Network. We had been using a different trainer/consultant for our initial Black Belt training. After being exposed to the TQM personnel at the Six Sigma Excellence Conference in 2004, we began to use them for training and support. The difference was remarkable and the impact to our team is significant. Our people were energized and motivated and gained a much better understanding of the tools and what they could do for us. We plan to continue utilizing TQM and I would highly encourage any organization interested in Six Sigma to take advantage of the TQM Network and its programs.”
Chris Holland, Dometic USA

“I received my Black Belt training at GE in 2000 and Scott Lasater was my instructor. Scott is the best teacher I’ve ever had, bar none. With his undergrad in psychology and masters in statistics, he knows how the mind works and he knows the stats. Scott’s visual aids and hands-on exercises allowed all his students grasp Six Sigma. I majored in math, but I could never keep all the statistical tests straight until I saw Scott’s “Statistical Roadmap” wall poster. Now I can just close my eyes and mentally retrace the roadmap.”
Paul V. LeMay, Director, Six Sigma - MACtac N.A.

“The TQM Network has been a valuable partner in educating REA employees, particularly in cost- and time-saving practices like Six Sigma. With Six Sigma we now have an in-house trainer who was trained by the TQM Network and is helping us implement Six Sigma at Rea Magnet Wire.”
Al Hyman, VP HR & Legal, Rea Magnet Wire

“Puts together all the statistical tools I learned in TQM and taught me when and how to use them. Great integrated approach to identify process improvement opportunities and capitalizing on them. If TQM stalled in your company, Six Sigma could provide the rigor and focus that was missing. The roadmaps move data based decision making’ from slogan to reality.”
Mark Szpila, Rohm & Haas

“The training provided an in-depth series of modules that gave me the tools to improve processes using data. The instructors were very clear and helpful at all times. This has helped to build my confidence in Six Sigma methodologies. This form of training is essential for organizations that wish to remain competitive in the future. Entire business cultures will need to start making decisions on mathematically based facts if they wish to survive.”
Jon Dick, Charter Steel

"While in the military, I received Green Belt training through a major defense contractor, but it doesn't even compare to this -- the training through the Lean Six Sigma Enterprise Institute was phenomenal and prepared me to make a huge impact to our bottom line -- over $650,000 on the first project -- thanks Scott!"
Brian, MACtac
