In the morning learn all about Six Sigma with Dr. Lesley Farmer and Dr. Alan Safer.
Want to save money? Short on resources? Want to make your clientele happier?  We can help you improve library operations using proven Six Sigma data tools. The session will detail project steps, a Six Sigma case study, and data analysis tools.  Also, the instructors are willing to provide 1 or 2 attendees with a semester of Six Sigma help gratis!

And in the afternoon, it's all about Strategic Planning with Neelima Firth.
Many organizations have high-level missions and develop strategies, but data indicates that most strategies fail. So why do they fail? One of the issues is the failure to fully understand the current environment and appreciate how the situation may change over time.

In any given organization, the information professional has much to contribute to understanding competitive intelligence and helping to develop future scenarios by acquiring, organizing and managing a wealth of information.

$25 SLA members | $20 Students and those between jobs | Non-members - $35

Continental breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks included.
