Description: The Orfalea College of Business prepares career-ready business leaders through hands-on discovery and dedicated mentorship. A curriculum infused with cutting edge technology trends, and supplemented by cultural and social service experience, gives students the knowledge and experience needed to thrive in California and the global economy. Our graduates are innovative problem solvers, prepared to excel in a variety of business roles and catalyze positive change, wherever they are.
Relationship: Central Coast Lean is set up as a “sponsored research project” under the OCOB. This allows CCL to act somewhat independently while still benefiting from the Cal Poly relationship for facility access, liability protection, and reputation. As a sponsored program, CCL financial accounting is overseen by the Cal Poly Corporation. Eric Olsen is a Professor in the Industrial Technology Program and most of the CCL Student Team members are in the IT Program. Professionals can attend online Cal Poly Lean Six Sigma classes and get certified through CCL.

Description: A non-profit organization serving San Luis Obispo and North Santa Barbara Counties, Transitions-Mental Health Association is dedicated to eliminating stigma and promoting recovery and wellness for people with mental illness through work, housing, community, and family support services.
Relationship: Central Coast Lean first began working with Transitions Mental Health Association in the summer of 2020 as part of a three way partnership between TMHA, Cal Poly, and the Lean Enterprise Institute. Paid by the James P Womack Scholarship & Philanthropy Fund, two Cal Poly interns worked on a project to demonstrate the benefits of implementing lean practices in a public service organization. Since then, Central Coast Lean has "adopted" TMHA and provides free workshops and student project work in support of their mission “dedicated to eliminating stigma and promoting recovery and wellness for people with mental illness through work, housing, community, and family support services.”
