Flourishing Living Systems
Learn how a leadership perspective inspired by nature can help your organization. Expand your strategic toolkit with principles of applied biomimicry.
Sustainability Reporting
What makes a good sustainability report? Why do companies spend time developing non-financial disclosures? Who really cares about a company’s social and environmental activities anyway? This course teaches the difference between high quality disclosure and greenwashing and the difference between companies who get value from reporting and those that do not. This course is provided in partnership with Brown Flynn, a women-owned corporate sustainability and governance firm headquartered in Cleveland.
Lean Principles
The core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. Eliminating waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems.
Six Sigma Green Belt Certification
This course will present a 36-hour curriculum designed to attain the Six Sigma Green Belt certification. It will develop the strategic role of Six Sigma within an organization, the cultural shifts that may occur, the phases of a Six Sigma project, procedures for developing a Six Sigma project plan, project success factors, and the completion of a Six Sigma project.
Thinking Lean
This simulation is designed to give each participant an experiential understanding of the effects of changes in the workplace. Participants test which changes work best: increased inventory, overtime, pull vs. push system, large and small batches, balanced workloads and more. It positions the participants to manage their own work in such a way as to create more capacity, reduce cost and improve the quality of their product.
