Testimonials

"Sarah Watson is passionate about the potential of people to perform. Ask dairy farmers to define their business and like as not they'll talk about "cows and grass". Sarah Watson from PeopleMAD helped us see that our business was actually about allowing our staff to grow and deliver great results. We've watched as PeopleMAD's focus has broadened from HR to include the development and delivery of DairyNZ's Lean management programme - FarmTune. FarmTune has been a game changer for us. Driving waste from the business through lean processes is now embedded in our operating culture. PeopleMAD and particularly Sarah have been great for our business."

FarmTune feedback... -

"I would recommend it because it gives a great framework on how to manage change, manage the sort and set process and how to sustain the lean management process. There was also great insight in some people management and helped develop processes to teach people. The course was great team building. It will help my business be more efficient, get my team home earlier. We have saved money by getting rid of waste - not over buying in bulk, things not getting maintained, etc
