BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF LEAN PRACTICE
ON THE CENTRAL COAST AND BEYOND

We are dedicated to helping organizations and individuals master modern management principles for process and systems improvement. Born from the Cal Poly Orfalea College of Business, we've grown beyond our roots in lean principles to embrace a diverse range of best practices in operational excellence.
Join us for the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Workshop!
Thurs/Fri, July 24-25, 2025
Facilitators: Eric Olsen, PhD - Director Central Coast Lean
Objective: Achieve personal effectiveness as a prerequisite to organizational effectiveness.
Purpose: In this live, online and in person interactive workshop we cover all 7 Habits in eight 90-minute sessions (12 hours total) over 2 days. It is impossible to have an effective lean organization without effective associates and managers. Central Coast Lean invests a great deal in providing high quality lean training and access to lean thought leaders. In assessing our process, it became obvious that we want to provide training to people who feel empowered to use it. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Signature Edition 4.0 helps participants not only learn to be more effective, but also shows them how to use processes and tools to live and apply the 7 Habits every day.
Approach: This workshop uses live, in person and online lectures, discussions and interactive exercises supported with videos and opportunities for self-reflection. All participants will also receive an online, 360 degree “7 Habits Assessment” to complete prior to the Workshop.Target Audience: All managers and associates. No prerequisites. Consider bringing 7 Habits directly to your organization by becoming a facilitator. Ask about our train-the-trainer options.Location: San Luis Obispo, CA and online via Zoom
Length: 2 days, 8:00am – 5:00pm
