Lean Six Sigma for Social Impact
Learn how to lead your organization through a structured improvement journey.

About the Program
We are excited to invite you to take advantage of our new workshop series here at the University of San Diego! The Nonprofit Institute has teamed up with the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering to develop the first-of-its-kind Lean Six Sigma for Social Impact program for nonprofits in the San Diego region.
Our region’s nonprofit sector employs thousands of highly talented, values-driven professionals who do noble work – and they do it well. This unique program is designed for organizations like yours to extend your mission for even greater social impact.
The program is taught by USD Engineering Professor Leonard Perry and seasoned local industry professionals, with Engineering students serving as coaches to participating organizations. Over the course of the program, participants use Lean Six Sigma methodologies to help their organizations identify ways to streamline operational processes and reduce current inefficiencies and redundancies.
The Lean Six Sigma tools are tailored toward nonprofit management and operations, with the goal of applying this approach to a specific project within each participating organization. Participants will have the opportunity to receive a Green Belt certification upon successful completion of project and evaluation.
Our next 14-week workshop will be held on Thursdays from 4-7 pm beginning on February 6, 2020.
If you would like more information about this program, please contact nonprofit@sandiego.edu. The application deadline for the next workshop series is January 15, 2020.
We hope to have you join us this Spring!
