Thanks for the MTa Select, we used it yesterday and it proved to be exactly what we required! It was very well received by all and we are very impressed with its ability to bring out the best (and sometimes the worst) in people!

HSBC works in 77 countries and has 10 training centres around the globe. We use MTa materials (all of them!) in a variety of situations: assessment events, small workshops for specific groups, on our graduate training programmes, on foundation and middle management skills courses, in tailored functional development events, for train-the-trainer events in local areas, and for country-level top team workshops. We have also used the kit when working with specific large-scale business issues, such as merging local businesses into regional structures.
MTa staff are our friends - and they are professionals. They have assisted us to redesign set activities for our specific use and have supported us in getting kit sent to unusual places around the globe...timely! They are not only responsive, but proactive in working with us and in anticipating our needs. They even help us to know the most economical ways in which to use their kit!
We feel we have a business partner who knows us and how to help us add value to our clients!Martha B. Birtles - Senior Group Management Development Manager, HSBC Holdings plc » Ref: Training Packages

We have used KanDo with experienced lean practitioners and with total novices. It has won many converts to lean and particularly pull systems with one piece flow. The materials and tutor guides are excellent, allowing facilitators to quickly grasp the design of the exercise.

I found the one day workshop excellent fun, a very relaxed day structured to peoples needs with no hard sell, in fact there was no selling involved.
I was amazed at the amount of advice and training given. Martin was all give, certainly giving away a lot more than he needed to, laid back but oozing with enthusiasm.
This day is a must for anyone looking at buying the kit, or who already has the kit, there is so much to extra to learn.Andy Bond - Hydroactive » Ref: Expos & Workshops

MTA has become an integral part of my work; hence our current biggest client buying kits in preparation of a 2005 country wide roll-out of the program that in 2004 has been run only out of Victoria. Seriously I love your product and when I next get to the UK I will buy you all a beer.

I have found MTA materials to be the perfect solution to team development needs, combining a fun approach with well structured opportunities for discussion, feedback and action planning. I would recommend again and again...there is nothing else like this in the market(as far as I know) Also, the support personally from Martin has been superb, willing on one occasion to provide free advice on the best choice of activity for a particular event. 10/10.

We use Kando Lean with clients as part of Lean training with all levels from MD to shop floor teams - simply a GREAT tool.
Chris McKellen - Manufacturing Awareness » Ref: KanDo Lean
The most successful programme we have achieved with the Kando lean package is the implementation of lean manufacturing within our Polish plant where lean manufacturing is not widely used. Kando Lean has definitely helped us to change the culture and way of thinking with regard to manufacturing and has allowed us to implement Lean smoothly and most importantly has gave us employee 'buy in'
Paul Clews - The Belle Group » Ref: KanDo Lean
The Maxi (Insights) is full of so many useful activities that they are great for lots of different situations. We have used short activities as energisers and warm-ups and longer activities to explore the key elements of successful teamwork and leadership
During a 5 module 'Supervisory Skills' programme for an Engineering Company we used one Maxi (Insights)exercise during each half day session - starting with the simplest (shape sorting) and working our way up to the 'Led Jigsaw' exercise. The 40+ participants(after some initial reluctance) threw themselves into the activities ... By the end of the 5 modules, they were full of praise for the MTa exercises and could see for themselves how much they had learned from getting involved in hands-on activities.
Tina Halperin - www.h2training.com » Ref: MTa MAXI Insights
Just to let you know, 'The Culprit' worked extremely well and the participants were delighted with the number of parallels between the game and the real life situations they'll be working in... am looking forward to using it again with another group!
Tina Halperin - www.h2training.com » Ref: Culprit
An excellent kit which provide us with many activities to use for our team building and training activities - we use them time and time again. The activities are challenging and well received by our clients
Mick Miles - Elite Training » Ref: MTa KIT
Excellent material, excellent activities, and excellent back up service. I have never had a client who has failed to be impressed by the benefits that can be gained from these activities
Maurice Fuller - CMF Consultancy » Ref: Training Packages
All the material is user friendly and there are plenty of openings within the feedback of the activities to channel and focus into certain learning points that I,as a trainer, want to bring out.
Mike Derrick - Southern Rail
We delivered a consultancy day looking at feedback issues within a particular department. Desired outcomes were to put into place a mechanism for feeding back internally in an open and honest manner. The Culprit acted as a platform from which to identify the salient issues and create an action plan for the department. They still talk about it today.
Jonathan Handcock - Bowles Outdoor Development » Ref: Culprit
A great opportunity to see an excellent trainer deliver a superb session with brilliant resources. It will leave you with a clear idea of how to plan and deliver session using MTa Products.
Rob Lancaster - Outstanding Events » Ref: Expos & Workshops
I have been using MTa materials for years. They are so versatile that I can offer training programmes for manual workers to MBA students, from 6 people to 30. And what is most important participants like it, feedback is great.
