STERLING
HEIGHTS — The Macomb-Oakland University INCubator will host its Startup
Lean program. Part of the OU Lean Diversification Program, this
three-part series will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Mondays,
Sept. 16, 23 and 30.
Startup Lean is targeted specifically toward
startups, early-stage businesses and entrepreneurs. The Green Belt and
Black Belt certificate programs, also part of the OU Lean
Diversification Program, are more comprehensive and beneficial to
companies at any stage.
"The Macomb-OU INCubator has successfully
trained numerous existing companies in Lean through both the Green and
Black Belt programs and decided that it made perfect sense to develop a
course that was shorter in duration and focused primarily on startups,"
said Julie Gustafson, executive director at the Macomb-OU INCubator.
Tuition is $95, breakfast is included.
For
more information and to register, visit oakland.edu/diversify or
contact Joan Carleton at 586-884-9320 or macINC@oakland.edu.
