Helping great businesses go further. Smarter. Simpler. Together.

CoPlan has been a transformational addition to project delivery success, counteracting the challenges of remote working at Ardmac.

CoPlan has allowed remote collaboration of project delivery and the metrics drive sustained continuous improvement at project level. It has significantly reduced the administration load of LPS in projects.

Given the success of CoPlan deployment, we are now recommending our clients to utilise CoPlan to support LPS deployment across their construction projects.

Crystal Lean Solutions provided our team with the tools and mindset needed to drive real efficiency. The delivery was top-tier, making complex Lean concepts accessible and easy to apply.

We are currently seeing the benefits first-hand as we work through our internal projects under the expert mentorship of CLS.

This ongoing guidance has ensured that the training translates into measurable results. A highly professional team and a great partner for our development.

Maria, Christy and the CLS team played a pivotal role in supporting GEM Construction’s approach to project delivery through the successful implementation of Lean methodologies and the Last Planner System.

Their expertise, structured guidance, and hands-on support empowered our teams to collaborate more effectively, improve planning reliability, and reduce waste across our projects. CLS provided practical training, clear coaching, and ongoing mentorship that embedded a culture of continuous improvement within our organisation.

As a result, GEM Construction has achieved stronger communication, enhanced productivity, and more predictable project outcomes. Their professionalism, industry knowledge, and commitment to long-term success made them a trusted partner in our Lean journey, delivering measurable improvements and lasting operational change

We would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to Brigid for her exceptional support throughout our Lean Plus project and wider Lean journey. Her calm professionalism, ability to engage at all levels, and commitment to sharing knowledge have been invaluable in helping us embed Lean principles and bring our projects to fruition.

Brigid’s guidance and collaborative approach made a real difference to our organisation, and we greatly appreciate her expertise and encouragement every step of the way.

We are delighted to continue working with Crystal Lean Solutions in 2026, a decision strongly influenced by the outstanding experience we’ve had with Brigid.

Before partnering with Crystal Lean Solutions, we were looking for a clear and engaging way to introduce Lean concepts across our organisation and from the very first session it was clear we were in excellent hands.

Chris, who has facilitated most of our sessions, brings energy, clarity, and a practical approach that really resonates with our teams. We’ve since worked with Crystal Lean Solutions on our Graduate Leadership and Transition Year programmes, all of which were extremely well received.

The training has already strengthened our teams’ thinking around process and continuous improvement. We truly value the partnership.

We have worked with Crystal Lean Solutions (CLS) for a number of years, partnering with them for training and guidance throughout our transformation journey. Their support has been instrumental in helping us strengthen our organisation and embed sustainable change.

CLS bring deep expertise in company culture, organisational behaviour, process development, and building truly process-driven organisations. They have a strong ability to translate lean principles into practical, actionable steps that deliver real impact.

What sets CLS apart is their collaborative approach. They work closely with their clients, taking the time to understand specific needs and challenges, and dedicating their expertise accordingly. The training programmes they have delivered to us have always been thoughtfully tailored, ensuring relevance, engagement, and excellence in what we receive.

I would highly recommend Crystal Lean Solutions to any organisation seeking experienced, hands-on partners to support cultural and operational transformation.

We partnered with Crystal Lean Solutions to deliver Yellow and Green Belt training across our organisation. The facilitators combined strong expertise with an approachable style, creating a supportive yet challenging learning experience.

Participants were able to apply the tools directly to live projects, delivering measurable improvements. The training has strengthened our internal continuous improvement capability, and we would highly recommend them.

We started our journey with Crystal Lean Solutions in 2020, and they have proven to be an exceptional consultancy and training partner. Their targeted workshops, offsite days, digital tools, and practical assignments have made Lean training engaging, relevant, and easy to implement.

Delivered in person by knowledgeable and professional facilitators, they have helped us build capability, improve performance, and successfully roll out Lean practices across our construction sites.

Crystal Lean’s expertise in funding guidance has supported our training and improvement initiatives. As a result, we’ve achieved program efficiencies, reduced reworks, and improved quality. Their flexible, hands-on approach delivers sustainable, long-term results, making them an invaluable partner in our continuous improvement journey.

I had the privilege of working with Crystal Lean Solutions during my tenure as Senior Operations Manager at Johnson & Johnson. Their expertise and structured Lean approach provided valuable support in helping our teams develop a clear vision for 4GT and strengthen leadership capability through the implementation of Leader Standard Work.

They facilitated strategic goal setting using a balanced top-down and bottom-up approach, ensuring alignment between leadership priorities and team execution. Additionally, they assisted teams in identifying and removing non-value-added activities, significantly improving focus on work that drives value.

What stood out most was their commitment to building internal capability, ensuring that teams were equipped with the skills and confidence to sustain improvements independently once the project was complete.

Thank you to the team at Crystal Lean Solutions for your partnership and support

OCC have been working with Maria, Christy and the CLS team over the past two years and our experience has been really positive and constructive.

CLS have been consistently professional, very knowledgeable and has delivered our training in a well structured, practical way through highly competent trainers who worked really well with our employees. They were a pleasure to work with, and their passion for learning and continuous improvement was evident throughout.

They have been a great support for our business and we would have no hesitation in recommending Maria, Christy and the CLS team.

Cook Medical partnered with Crystal Lean Solutions at the beginning of our Continuous Improvement journey and their support proved foundational. CLS worked closely with us to develop a clear CI strategy and a practical policy deployment approach, supported by a robust benchmarking process.

They played a key role in shaping our project management process, ensuring it aligned with our ways of working. Throughout our partnership, CLS brought deep expertise while remaining flexible and respectful of our culture and values. Their guidance was thoughtful and people centred, helping us build capability rather than dependency.

CLS were a pleasure to work with, and we recommend them as a trusted partner for organisations starting or strengthening their CI journey.

We now have the Last Planner® System embedded throughout our company and across all of our sites. LPS has become a core project management methodology for us and plays a key role in how we deliver projects with greater efficiency and certainty for our clients.

This journey began a number of years ago with a conversation I had with Maria Ryan – in truth, a game-changing discussion. Maria listened carefully to our story, understood the challenges we were encountering and provided clear insight into where, and how, we could improve.

Following that conversation, I knew CLS would be the ideal partner to work with us in developing a Lean strategy for our business. They supported us in implementing the strategy, delivering the necessary training across our teams, and ultimately embedding the Last Planner System throughout the organisation.

Through continuous mentoring and regular quarterly assessments, Maria, Christy and the CLS team have helped us sustain progress and strengthen our internal capability. The impact has been significant and has allowed our business to continue to grow and move to the next level.
