Group Qualification

We also offer in-house training for groups. Large companies often have internal consulting teams who provide services in organizational development or Lean Manufacturing. The ValueNet Works method integrates beautifully with other organizational performance tools and methods. We can train your own internal team of facilitators and analysts. In the course of supporting a value network project we often qualify two to four members of the Project Team as qualified practitioners of the ValueNet Works methodology and in the use of the ValueNet Works application.
