Bus 395 has a few seats available.  This course was created to help students mainstream into our signature competition teams.  The course is taught by two exceptional instructors who have created a similar course at the UofA.  As a result of this class, the U of A teams have been more successful in competitions.  If you are interested in competitions, this course will go a long way to help you get on to a future team.  As you know, Beedie School of Business participates in about 35 competitions a year. We are always scoping for talent and this course will be a foundation to work from.  By going through this course, you will be able to analyze cases, work in teams, build your confidence in public speaking…all very important things for your future.

Today’s competitive edge is about processes. And chances are that only about 10% of your processes add value. The other 90% is waste.
There – deep beneath the waste of your processes – is where your treasure can be found.

Phil’s axiom: Whenever you manage resources – costs go up; when you manage workflow – costs go down – always! If you are a senior or mid-level manager, an HR or continuous improvement professional who wants to discover buried treasure, you need to hear Phil Kirby at this very special ISPI event.

Phil Kirby is a Lean profit expert who founded his performance improvement company, Organization Thoughtware^® International Inc., over 20 years ago. He’s written two books. His incredible, hands-on experience with an impressive list of blue-chip customers mesmerizes audiences worldwide. His passionate, provocative and practical ideas make sense…and money. His books include Thoughtware® Change the Thinking & the Organization Will Change Itself and The Future: You Can’t Get There From Here.

The International Society for Performance Improvement is a voluntary organization of professionals dedicated to the development of Human Performance Technology”(HPT); i.e. the systematic approach to improving productivity and competence based on a set of recognized methods, procedures, and problem-solving strategies.
