Maina Levin, PRASE

Maina Levin is an experienced Lean Sigma Black Belt having worked in process improvement and re-engineering in both the post-secondary and manufacturing sectors. She specializes in getting teams to see how work is done from the perspective of a client and helping them re-design processes. Achieving success through elimination of wasteful steps, finding new ways of delivering value, applying basic process improvement tools and understanding metrics are all part of what Maina brings to her work as Project Lead on the PRASE team.

Join Maina Levin, Lean Sigma Black Belt for a discussion on Lean methodology and its applications in the York context. You’ll participate in group activities to rediscover how to define value as it applies to clients, how it impacts your processes and what constitutes waste. Spend an hour with Maina to see how Lean philosophy and tools can help you manage your projects and create a new way of thinking about how work is done.

Lunch & Learn - Useful Tips to Boost Productivity Using Lotus Notes @ 280N York Lanes
Apr 14 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Guest Speaker:

Shalom Zaidfeld, IPO

York University Alumnus Shalom Zaidfeld is a Records Manager with the Information and Privacy Office.  As a Certified Information Professional, he specialises in leading information management processes and technologies to enhance the existing information management practices at the University. He has worked with units spanning all Faculties to achieve such goals as organizing/managing paper files, shared drive organisation, and email management through the implementation of the University’s Common Records Schedule (CRS) to manage the University’s information assets effectively and efficiently.

Can you imagine having an empty email inbox? It almost sounds too good to be true! Although a completely empty inbox (also called "inbox zero") might seem overwhelming, maintaining a lean and clean inbox keeps us more organised and productive, ensures email records are handled appropriately, and eliminates email quota stress.

During this Lunch & Learn session, we will chew on useful Lotus Notes features and email management tips that will help increase our appetite for improving the efficiency and productivity of our email business skills.

Please register for the workshop. Light refreshments will be provided for registered participants.
