<p class="MsoNormal">Featured guest speaker will be <b>Sally Gore</b>, MS, MS LIS, research evaluation analyst for the University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science. In addition to her professional work, Gore also writes the popular
blog <i>A Librarian by Any Other Name</i>, which discusses libraries, information and knowledge management, health sciences, and translational science.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are also some great Continuing Education courses to choose from.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Wednesday morning, Jessi Van Der Volgen will be teaching a 4 hour MLA CE Course Lean Process Improvement Demystified. This course will prepare librarians to lead and foster innovation and Lean process improvement within their institutions.
This course will familiarize participants with innovation concepts and Lean philosophy and methodologies for sustaining efficiencies and new revenue sources. This course will also examine the leadership roles librarians can forge with these key health care
transformation strategies. Participants will learn through discussion, hands-on activities, case studies, and other methods. Content will include the five stages of innovation – ideation, stakeholder & market analysis, solution development, verification and
validation. In addition, Lean processes including the various components of an A3 Lean template and tools that can be used while applying Lean principles will be explained. These tools include swim lanes, 5 Whys, 5S, Gemba, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, Root Cause Analysis
and Value Stream Mapping. The four hour course will focus on lean process improvement, and not include innovation. Participants will learn through group discussions, personal plan development, case studies, and other methods.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to seeing you there!<o:p></o:p></p>
