2020-2022 Presenting Sponsor
The PIPE Program (Progress, Insight & Performance Education), is a collaboration between Chicago
Minority Supplier Development Council and the University of Phoenix. Aramark is the 2022
Presenting Sponsor of this eight-week, advanced business management program that saves time and
improves company performance.
Participant Eligibility
Participants must be employed by a company certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) through the National
Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), City of Chicago, Cook County, the State of Illinois Business
Enterprise Program (BEP) or certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). The PIPE Program is
recommended for officers or key employees who would benefit from sharpening their business skills. The courses are
designed for individuals who already have basic business knowledge and experience.
Company Eligibility
• Business owner must have at least three (3) years of experience developing/operating their company
• Company must have annual revenue between $200,000 and $50,000,000 (USD)
• Company must employ at least three (3) full or part-time employees
Overview and Benefits
This eight-week, non-credit Program is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge
needed to optimize their business. The output of each process (class) flows into the others.
• Week 1 - Strategic Planning Skills: Optimization starts with effective planning. Whether you are creating
your first strategic plan or reviewing the direction of an organization, this course will help you clarify and set goals.
Strategic/critical thinking, including the use of business intelligence data to drive decision-making, will also be analyzed.
• Week 2 - Managing Organizational Goals: Organizational goals can often get lost in layers of management
without being communicated to individual contributors. In the absence of goals, employees can feel unmotivated or
even set their own goals for achievement, resulting in poor and conflicting team performance. In this course, you will
develop skills needed to establish tactical goals for your team based on organizational directives and general goals
from management, prompting you to create and manage action plans to achieve such goals.
• Week 3 - Business Ethics: Pausing in the pursuit of setting strategy, participants review the role moral beliefs
play in business assessments. Making the right decisions for the right reasons is critical to smart business growth. This
course will also briefly discuss how business ethics influence the strategy of acquisitions.
• Week 4 - Project Management I: The review of project management concepts and its related skills help
attendees envision overseeing certain strategic goals as a formal project that can be monitored and measured. Learn
about the project management life cycle, success criteria, common reasons for project failure, setting up strong teams,
and risk factors to consider.
• Week 5 - Project Management II: Based on feedback from cohort one, we’ve added this second course to
build on the fundamentals. Areas of discussion to include: the scheduling process, controlling budget deviations,
monitoring for project progress, reporting tools, and elements of project close-out.
• Week 6 - Introduction to Supply Chain Management: This course provides an overview of supply chain
theory and explores its importance to your strategy. Also, it identifies how your supply chain plays into planning and
monitoring goals. Customized with presenting sponsor.
• Week 7 - Elements of Supply Chain: Take a deeper dive into the manufacturing and service operations of
the supply chain, along with a review of logistics, which gives a more nuanced understanding of effective decisions.
Customized with presenting sponsor.
• Week 8 - Process Improvement: After putting together the concepts taught throughout the PIPE Program,
this final class examines process improvement. Utilizing tools and techniques, participants will be empowered to drive
toward business optimization!
Class Schedule
Class sessions will be held virtually as we recover from the impact of Covid. The Program cost is $2,500 per
participant, however, full scholarships are available through our presenting sponsor, Aramark, to qualifying
companies on a first-come, first-serve basis (one applicant per company). Please click this LINK and complete
