Businesses in Mid Ulster are being urged to take advantage of a new series of business improvement workshops, hosted by Invest Northern Ireland, in partnership with Mid Ulster District Council.
Invest NI and Mid Ulster District Council are partnering up to run a new series of Operational Excellence workshops across the Mid Ulster area and are encouraging local businesses to sign up to the sessions, which are focussed on improving operational efficiencies.
Many businesses are experiencing increased costs so it is even more important to take the time to look at how current processes might be improved to increase efficiency.

The first workshop, Improving Processes & Visual Management, launches on Thursday 16 November at The Junction, Dungannon during Mid Ulster Enterprise Week. Mid Ulster Enterprise week provides local businesses with advice, up-to-date business information and the opportunity to meet and network with successful, local businesspeople.
Visual management is the display of information in the workplace, to inform teams, enforce work standards, and highlight or prevent problems, and is a concept deeply embedded in Lean thinking.
Encouraging businesses to register for the workshops, Ethna McNamee, Invest NI’s Western Regional Manager said: “Improving the efficiency of a business increases productivity and profits!
“Many businesses are experiencing increased costs so it is even more important to take the time to look at how current processes might be improved to increase efficiency."
Mid Ulster District Council is delighted to partner with Invest NI to offer businesses across the District the opportunity to avail of free practical guidance on how to really analyse their cost model, drive efficiency through their operations and ultimately grow sales at a time when the market place has never been more competitive.
