The United States Postal Service (USPS) recently awarded Bruce Mast & Associates, Inc. (BMA) the contract to develop and deliver Pilot Programs for “Building Practical Business Skills for Lean/Six Sigma Black Belts” to its supervisory employees.

In a concentrated effort to support the development of their Lean/Six Sigma professionals further, the USPS is launching this initiative to enhance their capabilities by creating a highly integrated “Practical Business Skills” program. Participants will also develop a fundamental and applicable understanding of basic project management processes (planning, organizing, implementing, controlling and closing) within the context of a Lean/Six Sigma environment.

BMA partners, John Ford and Leslie Mast submitted the winning proposal, and John will be the presenter for the Pilot Programs. The programs, developed by BMA in partnership with the USPS, will be delivered throughout the United States, starting in Pittsburgh and San Diego. They are based on “Faultless Facilitation” and BMA’s proprietary Leadership Development process, Leadership On The Line®.
