Focused on learning how to identify and eliminate non value-added activities in nonprofit processes, the Lean Concepts for Nonprofits cohort will lead up to 10 organizations through a 4-pronged opportunity:
  1. Classroom instruction: meetings will be held once per month for 6 months and will take a deep dive into lean principles.
  2. Organizational project: with the help of Catalyst Connection, each participating agency will choose an achievable project to work on and implement over the course of the 6-month period.
  3. Private consultation: Catalyst Connection will provide 4 hours of individualized, on-site help with educational content, project implementation, etc.
  4. Certification: Pending participation in the training sessions, implementation of the project, a report to the peer group, and satisfactory completion of a written exam, individuals can obtain a certification in lean principles.
Check out our blog post for highlights of an introductory Lean Principles event from earlier this year.
