Good afternoon,

One of our primary focus areas in Operational Excellence is to develop continuous improvement competencies across campus. To that end, we offer several trainings each year, and I am excited to announce that we are releasing the dates for our three trainings this fall:

  1. Lean Foundations – Thursday, September 5, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
    • An introductory training program designed to create a mindset of lean management throughout the University. At Carolina, we seek to design, implement, execute, assess, and continuously improve operations. This training aims to develop Carolina employees as problem-solvers to improve the delivery of value to our customers.
  1. From Problem to Project Workshop – Wednesday, October 9, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
    • An intermediate training program that teaches a strategic approach to problem solving. Using the A3 problem solving framework and a current challenge brought by each participant, we will demonstrate how to turn a problem into an executable project. Recommended Prerequisite: Lean Foundations.
  1. Prosci Delivering Project Results Workshop – Thursday, November 14, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
    • A training program targeted at employees working in project and change management who want to be better equipped to help their teams adapt to change and understand its benefits. Participants will reference their active projects to establish the intent, objectives, scope, workstreams, milestones, deliverables, and timelines of a change management strategy. Required Prerequisite: From Problem to Project Workshop.
