Colleges constantly look to provide Process Improvement training to meet the needs of surrounding businesses. Implementing a blended learning approach can help colleges scale and serve as a resource for businesses. Here we highlight the successes our customers have achieved partnering with OpusWorks to sell and deliver process improvement training to their clients.

Impacts Expansion. 
To provide on-going value to your community, it’s important to continually expand the programs you offer. Albany Technical College saw the potential to grow by providing a local military base with a customized Lean Six Sigma program. The college needed a curriculum, so they outsourced the content for development to OpusWorks. OpusWorks customized the program for use on an e-Learning platform. Academic Dean Dr. Steve Edison validated the program's success when he realized the students understood and implemented Six Sigma. "[They] begin to evaluate everything from the standpoint of improving processes and controlling waste." As a result, the program experienced significant growth. Read the full story here.
