Corporate Sensory training
Teach me how to taste.
PROJECT TEAMS: Sometimes cross-functional teams need help becoming more proficient in tasting and describing the products they work on. To make team tastings more effective, value added and allow the product development process to become more iterative we offer x-functional sensory training. During this training your team will learn the sensory language and vocabulary that is important to your product line(s). Sensory training has become a popular item for our clients very quickly due to the large impact it has on shortened launch times, better team communication during cuttings and more.
PRODUCTION QUALITY: Learning to measure through olfactory that you manufacture the product as it was initially designed is at the heart of our Quality Sensory training and program implementation. Who wants to find out after the fact that too much salt was added?

Both training options happen at the client's site to minimize time away from work by attendees
