You will hear from business people still in the process of developing their companies as well as those whose ventures have flourished. You will learn how these entrepreneurs discovered and procured resources from various programs and intermediary organizations. This course includes case studies and first-person testimonials from entrepreneurs who have launched products and services ranging from medical devices to LED lights to whiskey. Government policymakers and donors typically seek quicker returns on their support programs, which makes long-term support for entrepreneurship challenging. A dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem takes many years, even decades, to develop.
The region has made progress, but it remains to be seen whether it has struck upon an enduring formula. In that time, Northeast Ohio has promoted regional development (including job creation and follow-on funding) through alternative methods of financing startups. Northeast Ohio has seen a massive infusion of government and donor resources for over ten years. During our time together in this course, we will explore some of these creative approaches to promoting regional entrepreneurship. Northeast Ohio (where Cleveland and Case Western Reserve University are located) has become a laboratory for such innovative solutions. In transitioning markets that lack abundant private sector financing, creative approaches from government officials, donors, and business leaders can fill the void to support entrepreneurial activity. That doesn't mean they can't nurture and sustain new businesses. These markets are unlike Silicon Valley, and they will likely remain so. Learners will analyze the tools of process mapping, Kaizen (a continuous improvement method/tool deemed a prerequisite for Lean transformation success), Lean (a continuous improvement philosophy that emphasizes streamlined workflows and reducing waste), and the process improvement methodology driving DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.Įntrepreneurs fostering new ventures outside of well-developed entrepreneurial ecosystems like Silicon Valley face significant challenges.
The course covers high-level foundational principles of Lean, Six Sigma, and DMAIC processes before diving deep into Lean Six Sigma methods. Participants gain the skills and knowledge to reimagine internal processes, engage in advanced problem-solving, and empower employees.
