“Companies don’t invest money in ideas. They invest money in ideas that return actual dollars. SISU taught us valueable improvement systems and how to implement them ourselves. Mike’s approach to understanding what the real issues are and how to solve them is what makes him different. We continue to see results from the work SISU did with us.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the online courses as effective as face to face instruction?
No, the online courses are not the same as having Mike Martyn at your organization leading the sessions and responding to questions in real time. However, we have included more than 4 hours of video of Mike’s direct instruction and each course has been tested with actual clients to ensure your success.
Is there a recommended sequence to the courses?
We recommend you proceed from Understanding our Model (review of the book) to the Learn the Principles course and finish with Design the Systems (focused on implementation).
How long will the courses take?
As these courses are highly interactive and full of exercises and implementation assignments, the time it takes to complete each course will depend upon the speed of your execution. Generally speaking, we have designed the courses to be finished in 90 days.
Can I stop and start my program?
The online program is self-paced allowing you to start and stop whenever you want and for any length of time you need.
