Lean Six Sigma For Businesses Owners / CEO’s
It all starts here. You need senior leaders who are true executive advocates for Lean Six Sigma. This is especially critical during the early stages of the deployment, when you are deciding and supporting which current and future leaders will be trained, begin executing projects and develop a sustained culture of operational excellence. It leads the transformation when the President or CEO consistently states that Lean Six Sigma is one of the key enablers of our strategy. Additionally, when the chief executive strongly suggests that the path to future leadership positions goes through Lean Six Sigma, it sends a powerful message.

Our Process For Business & Organization Leaders
As a business ready to engage in a Lean Six Sigma deployment – here are a few questions to help guide you with your decision:
⦁ Do you believe there are opportunities within your organization to optimize your operations and become more efficient, reduce operational expenses, waste, and grow revenue?
⦁ Implementing Lean Six Sigma in your organization is not an ‘addition to’ current operations and responsibilities, it is a way of doing business. We work with leadership and employees to organically incorporate Lean methods into current operations. Is the organization ready to commit resources to optimize operations?
⦁ Are leaders within the organization capable of managing change and in a position to develop a cultural shift to continuous improvement?
