Have you ever wondered what are the bottlenecks preventing your deployment from flowing 10x returns? In this session we will discuss tools and topics – with a few interesting examples along the way – that show deployment leaders and practitioners in the Lean Six Sigma domain how to get the most out of their deployment. It all starts with how the governance system is established and the degree to which it is tied to financial impact. In this light, we will discuss approaches to establish your LSS deployment as a critical source of power that drives financial results, solidifying the strategic value of LSS in your organization. This element will touch on building LSS deployment strategies (forecast project results) into your operations forecasting and budgeting process. Of course, the proof will be in how expectations of your management system are exceeded; to that end we will discuss training design, candidate selection, project selection, and project execution with an eye toward high performance returns.

This conversation will touch on training and project execution strategies ranging from Lean tools to Yellow-, Green-, and Blackbelt training along with DFSS training when applicable. Project execution tools and strategies such as “Strike-force”, “Kaizen Blitz”, as well as common DMAIC/DFSS projects – and how to creatively blend approaches among all of these – will demonstrate the criticality of linking training strategies with project outcomes. Project practitioners and deployment leaders alike will find this conversation particularly interesting as it will address challenges with project execution and how to make the most of individual projects.

The specific topics which we will discuss, the tools and practices of LSS/Business Improvement, have been recognized as mainstream tools for decades and there is a tremendous amount of latent exposure to and experience with these tools. What this session will deliver is ideas and conversations around how to harness this knowledge and make the most of each project and each deployment, given the available resources and management system opportunities within each organization. It will provide the path for each player in your LSS/Business Improvement ecosystem to become a successful internal entrepreneur, delivering 10x returns on every project they touch!
