SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate Program
DESCRIPTION:Mercer University’s Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate program provides effective training and holistic systems thinking. The program emphasizes how leadership\, culture\, change management\, root cause analysis\, theory of constraints\, seven types of waste\, business analytics\, and other lean tools can positively affect your company on three primary foundations: organizational effectiveness through process improvement\, increased firm profits through a value-added customer-oriented approach\, and employee success and satisfaction through personal growth. \nOur action-oriented Green Belt Certificate program is distinguished from other lean programs in its dedication to providing training in soft skills\, methodological rigor and quantitative tools of Lean Six Sigma while also coaching participants on the development\, implementation\, evaluation\, and presentation of a lean project. Mercer’s program is structured to align with the American Society for Quality (ASQ) standards for Lean Six Sigma. \nAs part of our credentialing process\, participants are expected to develop a project charter and carry out a small but meaningful process change plan in a division of their organization. Mercer faculty will serve as coaches while participants work as change agents\, applying the Lean Six Sigma training from the classroom directly to the workplace. \nThroughout the training\, participants will transition between workshop lectures\, critical discussions\, multiple hands-on simulations\, and active peer feedback on project development. \nWho should attend? \n* Business executives interested in continuous process improvement in their organizations\n* Directors and managers seeking to reduce bottlenecks in their departments with a refocus on systems thinking to improve overall workplace productivity\n* Employees who want to improve their teams’ efficiency\, understand how to develop voice and influence in managerial projects\, and provide ongoing support and direction for their teams \nNext program begins Friday\, March 3\, 2023\n* Day One: Friday\, March 3\n* Day Two: Friday\, March 17\n* Day Three: Friday\, April 14\n* Day Four: Friday\, May 12

SUMMARY:Book Debut\, Gordon Johnston's 'Seven Islands of the Ocmulgee'
DESCRIPTION:A reading and talk about Johnston’s book of seven interconnected river stories\, which draw on European American\, Native\, and African American traditions and relationships with the upper Ocmulgee from near Jackson to below Macon. Set from the 1810s to the present\, the stories follow characters as their inherited or adopted perspectives on the river — and their ignorance of it — are altered by their personal experience of the watershed’s danger\, power\, and life. Each story engages a specific place\, among them Pittman’s Ferry\, the Seven Islands\, Smith Shoals\, the levee in Macon\, and the Ocmulgee Mounds of the Mississippian and Muscogee peoples. \nNovelist Robert Boswell\, author of Tumbledown and The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards\, had this to say about the collection:\n“Seven Islands of the Ocmulgee is not a quiet book of meditations on a river. Rather\, it is a deeply engaging set of intertwined stories that feature the complexity of character one associates with literary fiction while also offering surprising\, twisty plots that send the reader rocketing through the pages. This is a terrific book. I loved reading it.”
