CMULead and LSS Cohorts to Start in June

The HR-sponsored CMULead and Lean Six Sigma programs are preparing for their new cohorts to begin in June. These two high profile programs, although very different, are both examples of CMU’s commitment to strategically investing in training to develop and retain our brightest and most talented employees. The CMULead program prepares high-achieving individuals to grow into future leadership roles as they progress in their careers at CMU, while the Lean Six Sigma program aims to instill and nurture a culture of institutional improvement through the principles of Lean Six Sigma.

The CMULead program is set to begin its third cohort, and the Lean Six Sigma program will begin its fourth cohort. In 2022, for the first time, both programs will start at the same time. This alignment of scheduling is intended to make the entire process more cyclical and assist with the nomination process where university leaders are asked to identify prospective participants. The substantial time commitment of participants can fold into larger professional development plans for individuals and teams during the performance management cycle. For questions about the nomination process or the programs, please contact the Office of Human Resources.
