Macon State's Institute for Information Management offers convenient series of classes to help business & government use the power of information technology

The new Warner Robins Campus will be the headquarters of MSC’s Institute for Information Management.

The Institute for Information Management, Macon State College’s technology outreach arm, is introducing a series of classes specifically designed to help business, government and Robins Air Force Base increase productivity through the power of information technology.

Beginning in May, the Institute will offer a series of fee-based courses designed to fill technology needs outlined by public and private sectors in Central Georgia. Fee-based courses allow the Institute, which also offers a variety of free seminars and workshops, to be financially self-sustaining. The courses will focus on practical solutions to challenges faced by course participants in their work environments:

May

• Benchmarking
• Lean (RAFB Program)

June

• Transforming Business Through Information Management, Phase I
• Business Process Reengineering (BPR)
• Strategic Planning

July

• Transforming Business Through Information Management, Phase II
• Management in Technology Rich Environments
• Improving Network Security

Each course provides a total of 40 classroom hours. Classes will meet half days so students can spend time in their workplaces the other half.
