Workshop E: Think Strategic: Why starting Lean Six Sigma as an 'initiative' leads to a dead end
11.30am -14.30pm, Monday 29 October

According to recent research, a third of all Six Sigma initiatives fail to produce results and are abandoned, one third will produce mediocre results and only one third are successful.

There is an emerging trend for best practice companies to dramatically accelerate the benefits of Lean Six Sigma by leapfrogging the traditional ‘initiative’ or pilot stage. The focus of this workshop will be on the benefits of taking a more strategic view from the outset.

Moving directly to using LSS as a tool embedded into the ‘business as usual’ management review is a breakthrough approach, which is producing higher success rates, providing a reliable engine room for real strategic change and proving more sustainable in the longer term. Drawing from deployment experience in over 40 companies in Europe, Asia and US, Paul will cover the latest techniques for linking strategy with execution. He will discuss the integration of corporate strategy and Balanced Scorecards with improvement programs, and why he believes that improvement that is not aligned with strategy isn’t really improvement at all.

Delegates will leave with a greater appreciation of how top companies are developing their thinking in the following key areas:
• How to use Business Scorecards to link corporate strategy with project and process execution
• How to align strategy with improvement programs such as Lean and Six Sigma
