June 19 & 26 | Better, Faster, Stronger: More Efficient Library Practices Through the Lean Approach
Join us for a conversation about Lean methodology and how it applies in every size library for any audience. At its core, Lean is about leveraging the knowledge of staff to break down current practices and processes, and replace them with simpler, more efficient changes that require less effort. Best of all, adopting a Lean approach can lead to large time and even money-saving results. Discover how to benefit from the ‘less work, higher impact’ model!
