The Northeast L.E.A.N. Conference was created by the non-profit GBMP to provide information and inspiration to Lean practitioners - from those just starting out to seasoned Lean leaders from the manufacturing and healthcare industries. The practical learning format features exceptional keynote and breakout presentations, expert panels, peer-to-peer discussions, hands-on simulations, interactive learning and sharing, and unlimited networking opportunities.

It’s hard to make time to invest in your professional development. You’ve probably attended conferences in the past that had a few high-impact sessions surrounded by “filler” content. Many sessions were probably “motivational” and gave you nothing practical to take away and apply. Topics were likely delivered by “professional speakers” who didn’t know how things get done in the real world. That type of conference won’t do. Executive Insight 16 shatters that mold. What you’ll get when you attend the two-day Executive Insight 16 on November 10 – 11: - 13 sessions of insightful, pragmatic content delivered by experienced executives - Practical, applicable tools on topics that matter: leadership, communications, strategy, decision making, resilience, influence, negotiating, problem solving, storytelling, and more - Sessions led by real-world practitioners who are accomplished authors. All speakers share ideas based on experiences running companies, business units, and functions large and small - 6 books based on sessions you’ll attend covering leadership, communications, and influence - Networking opportunities with other executives who also want to dedicate time to learning - A great venue – The Waldorf Astoria New York – including wonderful meals and receptions

The focus of this two-day workshop is on reviewing fundamentals and basic steps critical for internal auditors. This includes forming and asking questions, opening and closing meetings, writing non-conformances, preparing reports and an introduction to process auditing. Auditing concepts are applicable to numerous internal and external auditing approaches, including those compliant with HACCP, GFSI approved schemes (i.e. FSSC, IFS, BRC, SQF, etc.), ISO standards, and specific company second party (i.e. suppliers, corporate programs, etc.) standards and protocols.
