The heart of the Business Innovation Workshop (BIW) series is the continuous improvement cycle. This interactive session includes peer-to-peer discussion, homework and in-class assignments to apply your learning immediately. Our 6 topics: strategy, marketing, top-line growth, financials, continuous improvement, and leadership work powerfully in tandem with the continuous improvement model to bring you success.
- Harness the power of marketing to improve your top-line growth
- Take a proactive stance and improve your strategy to take advantage of growth opportunities
- Create processes and systems that empower you and your people to solve problems
- Fully understand and utilize your financials to make informed business decisions
- Apply operational excellence initiatives to improve on-time-delivery and customer service
Built with small businesses like yours in mind, the BIW is interactive and immediately applicable, with practical hands-on information you can utilize in your company right away.
“Our old process was very stressful so our burnout rate was high. Orders would come in and chaos would ensue. Through the workshops, we were able to identify all the ‘low hanging fruit’ and begin working on necessary changes to manage inventory and create a streamlined process. The on-site visits were extremely helpful in aiding the change.” – Past Attendee
” I was inspired by the content hope to work with OMEP again in the future. Right after attending one of the BIW workshops, I found myself in a challenging situation at our production facility. I used a technique I had just learned in the workshop to navigate the situation to positive results. It felt like a real success. Thanks to the OMEP team for the help!” – Past Attendee
