Since the inception of Air Academy Associates in 1990, its instructors and consultants have been recognized throughout the quality improvement community as second to none. Representing our “Knowledge Based Management” approach in the classroom and employing sound and tested techniques, our consultants teach with consistency, understanding, and proven effectiveness.
The positive impact of our consultants goes far beyond the classroom. It is essential that class participants be able to convert the "upper tier" skill sets that we emphasize into positive returns and business benefits. It is for this capability that Air Academy Associates has received “high marks” as our consultants' support has a history of positively impacting our clients’ key business indicators. Whether our consultants are working in the manufacturing arena, the design field, or with transactional/service organizations, the outcome is equally beneficial to the client.
Our consultants, who, on the average, have been with us for over 7 years, typically have more than 15 to 20 years of experience in training, materials development, and coaching/mentoring. Our consultant team includes Master Black Belts certified from recognized Six Sigma leaders such as Texas Instruments, General Electric, Allied Signal, Raytheon, GlaxoSmithKline, Corning, Delphi, and Lockheed Martin. In addition, all meet Air Academy’s stringent consultant criteria.
Our consultants not only know the best methodologies --Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Design for Six Sigma, etc. -- they are expert at imparting that knowledge and driving those they teach and mentor to achieve a level of success that is noteworthy.
