Brilliant Resources for You
Here are some links to other Resources which work brilliantly. We have no affiliation with these organisations, and simply wish to help you and others by sharing the knowledge of these Services and Products of exceptional quality.
These particular Resources won’t directly help you in your Lean Transformation, however they will help you to achieve better outcomes.
Visual Thesaurus - Helps you intuitively and enjoyably find that perfect word and also to develop your understanding and vocabulary, in a visual way.
Met Office - Gives you the UK weather forecast in 3 hourly segments instead of simply an average for the day. Just input your post code, and get the most from your day.
Apple Mac - They just work and they work really well. If you don’t already use Apple Macs and are frustrated with PCs and wasting your time, then learn about why and how to switch.
SnapMad / DLab7 - Exceptional quality prints from your digital, or film, images.
Petrol Prices - Helps you find the best price and value for petrol or diesel fuel in your area/s. Add up to 3 UK post-codes and get daily reports.
Say No to 0870 - Landline phone numbers instead of 0870, 0871, 0844, 0845, or 0500, prefixed phone numbers of Organisations, which reduces the cost for you, especially if you want to call from a mobile.
Seat Sixty-One - Outstanding guide to how to travel by train or/and ferry to and from the UK and within Europe and beyond, rather than by plane, enjoy the experience and reduce your Carbon footprint.
