Lifelong Learning through the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Office of Educational Outreach presents two topics Wednesday, Oct. 30: The Six Sigma Project Management Method and the past, present and future of ebooks.
“Six Sigma Project Management Method and Its Application to Everyday Problem Solving and Improvements” will be presented by Greg Bates, chemical engineer and retired/consultant. The discussion will take place:
- 10:30-11:45 a.m. tomorrow in the SIUE Morris University Center (MUC), Mississippi-Illinois room.
“The Six Sigma project management method is used widely by businesses globally to provide effective and sustainable solutions for problems and for making improvements,” said Cheryl Brunsmann, assistant director, community education programs in the Office of Educational Outreach.
In this brief presentation, the basics of the project management method will be examined, along with how thought processes and tools can be applied to everyday problem solving or improvements.
“Ebooks: Past, Present and Future” featuring Charlotte Johnson and William Harroff, co-owners of (r)Evolutionary (e)Books Press will talk about the four-decade journey they have undertaken to bring ebooks to the forefront.
“This presentation summarizes the influences that lead to their development, describes their status today and predicts possible scenarios for the content we now define as “books.” The event will take place:
- 1:15-2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the MUC Mississippi-Illinois room.
Both activities are sponsored by Stillwater Senior Living. Presentations not designated as free will cost $5 for general admission; $2 for Lifelong Learning members, and are available for free for SIUE students.
