Process excellence is not achieved overnight and requires innovation and persistence. As a process improvement leader, you know the benefits of attending conferences to meet up with other PI experts to exchange ideas.
We present at several key events each year and enjoy meeting PI leaders from all industries. In fact, we’ll be attending several events in the next few months. If you plan to attend one or more of these events, here are a few key recommendations to help you optimize your time. We look forward to having insightful discussions about how to more efficiently implement and scale PI initiatives in your organization.
OPEX Summer Business Transformation Leaders Summit 2018
Dates: August 27-29
This is one of the premier conferences in the process excellence world. Which means there will be a lot going on. Before you go to the conference, take a second to download the agenda and mark the sessions you want to attend. There will be four sessions going on simultaneously at any given time.
If you are attending with your team, designate which members of the team will attend which sessions. Even if you are attending the conference alone, you can divide your time into 30-minute segments so you can attend twice as many sessions.
While at the conference, be sure to stop by OpusWorks - Booth #8. Plus – mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 29th @ 11:35am for our case study session with Kristin Clarke Batoy - Manager, Enterprise Continuous Improvement Center of Excellence, Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Deploying Blended Learning for Operational Excellence - Track A: Strategy Transformation.
2018 Center Best Practice Conference
Dates: September 12-14
The 2018 Center Best Practice Conference is put on by The Foundation for Manufacturing Excellence, a subsidiary of ASMC. It is aimed at all MEP Center staff. The niche nature of this conference makes it one of the best places for you to network and learn.
This conference serves as a way for the MEP Center to share best practices with other MEP professionals. The event is jam-packed with sessions, but they do not overlap.
One insider tip is to utilize your lunch breaks to your advantage. These breaks are a great time for networking. At the beginning of each lunch break, you will hear from a speaker, but once the speaker finishes, don’t let that time go to waste. Talk to people around you about their processes and what they are doing differently.
Meet up with OpusWorks at our booth. We look forward to seeing you.
