We would be delighted if you could attend as we are confident the event will add significant value to your organisation. \nThroughout the industrialised world\, management teams and their colleagues are faced with two real threats to their competitiveness: – \n\nClimate Change\nDigitalisation\n\nMarket forces are dictating that processing plants demonstrate their progress toward transferring to low carbon operations. The concept of Net Zero Carbon is currently entering the everyday vocabulary of operational / marketing managers. \nTZC have recognised that the effective deployment of digitalisation (Industry 4.0 \, Big Data etc.) will make a significant contribution to meeting the climate change challenge. \nWe are working with Smart Factory to deliver an integrated solution for one of our major multi national clients. \nThe system will incorporate localised display screens showing live data\, a comprehensive compliance reporting package and a web based energy management system compliant with ISO 50001:2018 (International energy management standard). \nDuring the day will go through the system and we share our experiences with you. \nSelf-Assessment – Big Data \nYou will\, also\, have the option of completing a self-assessment tool which will give you an indication of your position on your journey to being able to exploit big data. Brendan Sheppard (CEO Smart Factory) who is one of the most experienced practitioners globally will be on hand to guide you through your assessment \nRenewable Energy \nGas Networks Ireland (GNI) have launched their “Vision 2050” whereby they outline their ambition to deliver a “net zero” gas network. This will include biomethane\, abated natural gas and hydrogen. Hugh Murphy (GNI) will explain each of these actions and the planned journey to their maximisation \nThe support scheme for renewable heat is a tariff support mechanism that extends for 15 years. It provides an ideal opportunity to increase your renewable fraction by switching to biomass which is a carbon neutral fuel. \nBased on Extensive experience as a supply chain manager\, TZC have launched Biolight which is a provider of community sourced energy. Our fuel is grown\, processed and consumed locally. Conor Casey will go through the Biolight process and outline the company’s ambition to facilitate the switch away from fossil fuel. \nBradley Martin of OMNI Heat and Power will host a workshop to help you evaluate your suitability for a full or partial switch to Biomass \nCarbon Offsets \nFor the foreseeable future\, there will be a fraction of your energy requirement which is derived from fossil fuel.

SUMMARY:WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series 15/01/20 (LEAN IN MICRO & SMALL ENTERPRISES - STARTING AND BEYOND)
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker\nDave Mitchell is the RIKON Centre Commercial Manager with responsibility for Lean and Operational Excellence. He manages and delivers Business Process Improvement and Lean Business Model projects to a variety of organisations in services and manufacturing. Dave has over 25 years’ operational management experience in the private sector. He believes that the adoption of Lean is situational and different in every organisation with the involvement of people being key to sustainable success. His experience with SMEs throughout his career has shown him both the potential benefits and the opportunities for Lean adoption together with the value it can create. A recent graduate from the WIT Master of Business in Lean Enterprise Excellence\, Dave also holds qualifications in Business Systems Analysis\, Scrum Project Management\, and is a PRINCE practitioner. \nAbout the Topic\n\nLean was\, for a long time\, incorrectly portrayed as the domain of large manufacturing organisations. Dave will dispel this myth and show how Operational Excellence can be achieved in any Micro/Small business using a Lean approach. You will be introduced to the principles of Lean in plain language and shown how you can get started on the path to adopting it in a sustainable way. We will look at how supply chains are being impacted and how Lean will impact as we progress through the 4th Industrial Revolution. \nThere will also be the opportunity to gain some practical experience through some simple workshop exercises that show the benefits in terms of improving your business. \nNo prior knowledge is required – just an open mind and a desire to optimise your business.

SUMMARY:Certificate in Climate Resilience for Business
DESCRIPTION:Important Dates\n\n\nApplication Deadline \n06/01/2020 \n\n\nStart Date \n13/01/2020 \n\n\nEnd Date \n24/12/2020 \n\n\n\n\nAbout this Course\n\n\n“Climate resilience is an integral component to the overall resilience of the financial system and the economy…for these reasons\, the (Central) Bank is fully committed to playing our part in ensuring that Ireland successfully responds to climate change in the coming years”.\nQuote from the concluding paragraph of the Monsignor Padraig de Brun Memorial Lecture given in NUI Galway by Professor Philip R Lane\, Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland on the 5th February 2019. \nThe programme is designed to enable graduates to work in companies and organisations in areas and roles that strategically respond to the increasing operational challenges presented by climate change. This programme is designed to foster resilience to the challenges of climate change by focusing on ways that businesses can reduce emissions and increase energy and operational efficiency. The emphasis is on increasing knowledge and developing skills in key areas where climate change directly affects enterprise operations\, such as energy supply\, carbon tax\, resource usage and waste management. The programme is intended to provide upskilling opportunities for those in supervisory or management roles in both the public and private sector. \nThe proposed SPA is a level 8 special purpose award\, based on three modules which address the key areas of climate change that affect business operations. The two core modules\, Energy and resource optimisation and Climate change and governance cover the relevant technical and legislative aspects of the programme. The third module is a work-based project which allows the student to develop and apply their newly gained knowledge by completing a project that critically addresses climate change impacts in the context of their own workplace or industry. \nStudents who are unemployed will be expected to carry out the project as work experience. \nIt is proposed that the programme will be delivered via a blended learning approach\, involving a mixture of on-line (approx. 80%) and face to face (approx. 20%) delivery. Individual student effort will be in addition to this. Classroom: Face to face classes will be held periodically during the course of the programme. \nFor more information click here.

This work focuses on supporting leaders to further develop leadership skills for engaging staff as a core competency and keystone of quality improvement. Marrying the evidence and the experience of staff within the cultural context with the use of creative facilitation techniques\, it becomes possible to hear and value the staff voice as a positive and powerful force to improve quality. Of special interest is the move for leaders from a control and command leadership style and that delicate balance in delegating autonomy while maintaining overall responsibility for delivery. Juanita has worked in healthcare since 2001 and has lectured both nationally and internationally. \nAbout the Topic\n\nJuanita will deliver an interactive and experiential session focused on leadership skills for engaging staff in quality. Throughout the session\, participants will have an opportunity to: \n\nexplore the cultural challenges that present during this work\, and\nexperience techniques that are designed to change the conversation and outcome of QI.\n\nA number of the facilitation techniques used will come from the world of “liberating structures” which complement Lean and other QI methodologies. This session will be of interest to anyone who has ever tried to convince someone to join them on an improvement journey. \nLean Practitioners Sharing Knowledge\nThe South East Lean Network and WIT Academy of Lean Enterprise Excellence present the Annual WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series\, kindly supported by Enterprise Ireland and brought to you in association with Waterford Chamber Skillnet. \nThis is a series of free monthly network and knowledge exchange events that bring together continuous improvement practitioners in Lean enterprise\, operational\, and process excellence to share their expertise\, knowledge\, experience\, and good practices.
