Service

Level:

There are decades of research showing that the majority of improvement initiatives fail to meet and/or sustain performance expectations. Leadership’s support and engagement has been consistently identified as the most important but significantly lacking factor in initiatives’ success. We believe this “performance disconnect” occurs because of inattention to the behavior change dimension. The best strategies and most agile organizations won’t reach their process improvement goals unless they are able to change leader and performer behaviors. Nothing changes until behavior changes.

accomplir® Behavior Management focuses on important, new, or changed behaviors to optimize process performance. In addition, it enables leaders to better understand their role in positively reinforcing behavior change adoption and sustainability.

This session takes a practitioner’s viewpoint, focusing on accomplir’s® Behavior Management (Applied Behavioral Science) tools integrated into a DMAIC framework. In the context of accomplir’s® integrated methodology, we will review how Behavioral Annotated Processes SM accelerate and sustain behavior change.

Conference Chair's Message 

Joel Smith

Continuous Improvement is not just something a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) practitioner leads their organization in practicing, but is also a core competency of their professional makeup. That is why more and more innovative and leading companies are looking for leaders that use the LSS way of thinking in everything they do within their organization.

In this era of data science and machine learning, the ability to connect the dots for end to end solutions across the boundaries of people, process and systems is the key to success. This year’s conference is focused on making sure we are “continuing” our journey as practitioners. Whatever your level of experience, you will learn new concepts, new perspectives and network with the best in the industry.
