Worcester

Heart of the Commonwealth

Excellent choice! Once opened, the Blackstone Canal and Boston Railroad transformed Worcester into a transportation hub and manufacturing flourished; especially, power looms, and corsets. Economic diversification spread into biotech and healthcare. Education became prominent. Worcester is known for many famous firsts like the typewriter, envelope folding machine, pressurized space suit, candlepin bowling, Valentine's Day cards, and liquid-fueled rocket launch.

I had the pleasure of working with our Master Black Belt at our energy tech firm. There, he created an internal mentorship and training program to teach lean/six sigma concepts. The training was made available to employees spread both horizontally and vertically throughout the organization. Executives, managers, assemblers and receptionists alike were soon finding and eliminating waste within their workday. This divide-and-conquer philosophy in executing the continuous improvement program was not only an incredibly efficient way to find and implement cost savings, but also created a culture of empowerment within our organization. Our MBB encouraged all of his students to use these techniques to add value to the organization, in-turn making them more valuable employees.
