SUMMARY:Strategic Planning Overview – North
DESCRIPTION:5/4/25\nOver 65% of new businesses fail within their first 10 years. Established businesses that were traditionally successful often stop growing or lose market share. Why? It is overwhelmingly because businesses don’t spend enough time thinking about the market environment and fail to create viable long-term strategies for success. \nIn this course\, executives will learn how to properly identify\, plan and execute business strategies that will increase the likelihood of success. This class will be a guided presentation with exercises\, with the goal of participants leaving with an initial outline and draft of a Strategic Plan for their business. \nParticipants in this class will learn how to: \n• Understand why long-term strategy is important\n• Analyze the market environment\n• Scrutinize one’s own business\n• Develop a Vision and Mission statement (and why it is so important)\n• Create strategies to deliver the Vision and Mission\n• Devise Key Results to measure success\n• Set up your business for future growth\n• Generate a Change Management strategy if a course correction is needed

SUMMARY:Lean Manufacturing – Introduction to Value Stream Mapping – North
DESCRIPTION:5/12/26\nAbout Course: \nIn this course\, participants will receive an introduction to Value Stream Mapping and will apply the learned principles to a specified product family in the company. This course teaches participants how to gather the information required to eliminate all non-value adding waste and how to use the information to plan the implementation of Lean activities. Participants will learn the steps necessary for creating a current state value stream map from customer back to raw material and develop a future state vision to act as a blueprint for lean activities. \nThe future-state map created by the class will act as a blue print for additional lean manufacturing training and implementations. The impact to the company will be calculated after the implementation plan is created\, however it is anticipated that when implemented\, the plan will result in a significant reduction in lead times\, inventory\, and floor space\, and an increase in productivity.
