These Master Series are true kaizen "learn-then-do" events. During intense sessions ranging from four to five days, participants experience real world situations as part of implementation teams working in pilot areas on the shop floor or in the office. Working in a different environment helps participants to "think outside of the box", and see things in a new light without any preexisting paradigms. The last day of each Master Series Workshop consists of team presentations. Each team shares their experiences, the obstacles they overcame, and the success they achieved.
