Georgia Tech-Savannah will continue its leadership series with a two-day course on “Maximizing Innovation and Improvement” on May 11-12. The session will position leaders to be effective change agents through continuous improvement and teach them how to align continuous-improvement projects and innovation efforts with their companies’ business strategies.

“Every leader knows innovation and continuous improvement are essential for a company to survive and thrive, but many organizations have a difficult time achieving these goals,” said Diane Lee, director of Georgia Tech-Savannah. “These workshops, designed with input from the Savannah business community, reveal ways to exceed goals, identify team members’ unique strengths, and learn how to align projects with business strategies.”
 
The workshop series, which costs $895, will be led by strategy and leadership development expert Ned Ellington. Ellington, a former research faculty at Georgia Tech, has a long history in executive education, having developed and delivered seminars and workshops on the topics of leadership fundamentals, transformation management, innovation management, lean enterprise thinking, leading change and total quality management.
