DO YOU WANT TO FEEL EMPOWERED TO IMPROVE YOUR WORK?
Bostonia Academy offers City of Boston employees training and coaching around process improvement tools and change management methodologies. Trainings focus on identifying areas of improvement in a process and eliminating problematic steps without procuring new staff or technology. We focus on solutions that are quick-wins and have low barriers for implementation.
After training, trainees have the opportunity to work with the Performance Coaches on a process improvement project. Once the project starts to get implemented, the trainee can get officially certified in the training.
