We call him “The Ten Million Dollar Man” because he’s led massive organisation-wide change programmes and achieved multiple million dollar savings for his clients (we can’t tell you exactly how much because of client confidentiality – but it is multiples of $10M!).
You’ve seen it so many times before, haven’t you? Projects that don’t deliver the expected results, projects that fail and never complete, projects that seem to just take forever. Time and again you sit back and think to yourself ‘why are we investing all this time, money and effort?’
“Real results only come from real engagement and true focus on customers and their needs” says James. “Any programme or initiative without Senior Leader engagement and without true customer focus is a waste of money. My clients want real results!”
As Global Master Black belt at Motorola James led the Six Sigma programme for an organisation of 11000 people maintaining its momentum and keeping sharp focus on its outcomes and results.
“Value doesn’t come just from doing things right; value comes from understanding what your customers want, how your organisation delivers that today and then doing the right things right. If that’s not your focus then you’re wasting your time and money with Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma or any other improvement methodology; any incremental gains will be insignificant compared to what you could be achieving.”
James trains, coaches and mentors organisations to build and sustain a culture of change and continuous improvement. He doesn’t “do” projects; he works with his clients to engage their people, bespoke their change efforts and ensure maximum return on investment.

James Rosenegk has worked closely with me, at Daikin Airconditioning UK Ltd, to create a bespoke Kaizen workshop for our employees. The key aims for the workshops were to impart the Kaizen philosophy and make it real; be highly engaging, energising, fun and different; ‘brain friendly’ and enables us to create a platform for the individuals to take Kaizen forward into the rest of the organisation. We found James’ approach to be highly professional, engaging and innovative. The workshops were very successful – giving a lot of information and detail but also very hands-on for the employees; they actively participated throughout a variety of group work that was both fun and had a real business focus. Our attendees used words such as ‘empowered, energetic, ready and enthusiastic’ when giving their feedback. Following on from the success of the workshops, we’re now working with James on coaching and development in other areas of the business. I have no hesitation in recommending James Rosenegk and Kaizen Training to any organisation.

Kaizen Training have been terrific in providing new impetus to our innovation and efficiency drive at the Magnox North Trawsfynydd decommissioning site. James has delivered superb training tailored perfectly to our needs. Delegates have all really enjoyed the quality of the training and the upbeat style that really sticks! James and Kaizen training have been crucial in constructing the efficiency challenge. Helping to design and construct our skills development which was delivered over a series of workshops that got 100% attendance at each one! Delegates were buzzing and came back extremely enthusiastic and keen to implement their new found skills. James has also undertaken leadership development of our Site Lead Team and every session was a hit. Short sharp focused hits that did more than train our leaders, it moved them to a new mental model, a shift in their thinking. This work is ongoing and I am looking forward to developing our next phase with Kaizen and particularly James who has built up a real rapport with our company. James has modelled the way for our site I-Mentors (Innovation mentors), who he has personally trained in facilitation skills designed to engage our workforce in new and exciting ways. James has led a number of these workforce engagements that have led to real efficiencies being set out for implementation. Feedback from the workforce was very positive, and appreciative that they were finally being listened to. We’re at the start of our journey and James has given us all food for thought and a model to follow.

South Yorkshire Police have so far undertaken two training events with Kaizen Training. These have been focussed on equipping our staff with skills and knowledge about Lean and how to effectively implement what they have learnt back in the workplace. We found the course content to be excellent and pitched at exactly the right level for the audience, and supporting information in terms of the Lean Manuals given out during the training, were incredibly useful for our staff to back up their learning. James’ personable and professional approach fostered a highly effective learning environment on our sessions and meant that not only did the delegates learn, but also that they enjoyed the session. The feedback from delegates on this training has been excellent, with some officers mentioning it was the most useful training course they had attended. This has led us to book further training with Kaizen, this time on the topic of change management. I would not hesitate to recommend Kaizen training to any organisation.

I am extremely grateful for having the had the opportunity to attend the Kaizen course with James Rosenegk. Along with many others, I am facing increased workload and new challenges and had already realised that ‘throwing hours’ at the problem was not the best way. I also felt I was not giving the best example to my team – I was feeling rather swamped. So, the course was extremely timely and has given me some brilliant ideas to look at things differently. It has helped me to believe that, even though times are tough, there are lots of things we can still do to move things forward in a positive way.. I got really practical and new ways of identifying and cutting out waste, and utilising absolutely everything you have to the max – particularly your workforce. The benefits – both financial and much improved morale. I’m not exaggerating, to me it was frankly a revelation

“I did not personally hire James, my company had that privilege…..
What a programme !!
Unfortunately I cannot disclose too much here about the dynamic work and results that James can have on you and your team !
A true leader that can influence every aspect of your career and leave a tremendous long lasting memory of the service he provides.
Dont take my word for it – call him!”
