EVENT DETAILS

EVENT IS FIVE DAYS - Mar. 28, April 4, 11, 13, 20, 2016 (must attend all five days)

LeanOhio Boot Camp is for local Lean leaders who work in Ohio cities, townships, counties, school districts, public universities, and other governmental agencies and organizations. The week-long session is entirely practical, with extensive hands-on instruction on Lean methods and tools.

The training is filled with public-sector examples and exercises. Included is an in-depth simulation involving a prototypical agency, so participants build their toolkits by way of a real-world situation. They will be able to use their new knowledge and skills immediately -- to make government simpler, faster, better, and less costly.

Scholarships are available through the Local Government Efficiency Program. Click here for information. Participants should have support from their organization leadership to attend -- and then to apply Lean concepts and tools in their workplace.
