Learning opportunity with Dr. Alan Robinson, author of such books as The Idea-Driven Organization, Ideas Are Free, and most recently Practical Innovation in Government: How Front-Line Leaders Are Transforming Public-Sector Organizations. In one of the most extensive studies in decades of operational excellence in government, Alan Robinson and Dean Schroeder found high-performing continuous improvement initiatives that had disregarded conventional thinking about how to approach it, and as a result, had attained levels of efficiency and service that would be the envy of any private-sector organization. This presentation will explain how the managers pulled off such radical transformations and share critical lessons for managers who want to do the same.
Berkshire Innovation Center will provide a catalyst to accelerate the innovation and growth of existing companies in the Berkshire Region, primarily small to medium-sized manufacturing companies (SMEs) in Life Sciences and the Life Sciences Supply Chain, with the ultimate objective of spurring economic growth, jobs, and investment in the region.
