PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

Why we're passionate about what we do

We’re different; we’re a Principles based consultancy and training firm. Since 1984 we’ve been helping organisations transform their performance through better processes and more engaged people.

We help you solve significant challenges by understanding not just the processes in your business, but the interrelationships between them.

This goes beyond just strategic alignment, we leverage all your talent, resources and current improvement initiatives.

Grow & perform year on year

PMI understands the critical role that process improvement plays in driving performance improvement. We know you’re unique and that there is no one-size-fits solution to unlock your full potential. That’s why we provide consultancy services tailored to you, working closely to understand your specific needs and develop solutions that deliver.

Working in all functional areas, with all kinds of performance challenges, our consulting team are expert practitioners, with years of experience leading quality and improvement programmes.

The headline? Our consultancy services can help you achieve your goals and transform your performance.

Flexible content that delivers

Our learning portfolio is the broadest in the industry and we have our own in-house development team who make customisation easy. All of our consulting and training programmes can be delivered on-site or virtually (or both!). We make it easy for you to experience improvement your way; in-class, virtual or on-demand, we’ve got all the bases covered to the best possible standards.

We operate the UK’s largest specialist public Lean Six Sigma training business through our LIVE virtual classroom portal, and at locations in London and Birmingham.

So whether you are looking for beginner or Master programmes, you’ll find our iterative and interactive method means your learning is both effective and enjoyable. But, you don’t need to take our word for it. Our accreditations, licenses and partners speak for themselves.
