UGM: 3 July 2007: Six Sigma as a Strategy Enabler

As the pressure to deliver results increases, Six Sigma & Lean professionals need to be ever-more aware of how their programmes align with company strategy. This means that selecting the right Lean Six Sigma projects and defining and developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are vital. However:

How can you be sure you have selected the right projects? Do you concentrate on what your board is telling you? Or your customers? Do you look at your CTQs… or NVAs? Do you choose projects based on bottom line return? Or quick wins? Should all projects be aligned with KPIs? What are your KPIs really telling you? How do strategic KPIs differ from operational KPIs?

These are some of the questions and topics that will be investigated and debated at the next onesixsigma.com user group meeting (UGM) on the 3rd July 2007, exploring the theme of:

Six Sigma as a Strategy Enabler.

We will be facilitating presentations, discussions, case studies and workshops based around – but not limited to – the following subject areas:

Project portfolio development in a mature six sigma organization Financial validation on benefits reporting Upon a successful pilot project, process taken to develop the project pipeline Successful development of KPIs at the outset of a project

As with all our UGMs, attendee numbers are strictly limited in order encourage debate and ensure individuals get maximum value. As a result, it is vital that you register your interest early in order to guarantee your participation. For further details, and to register, please follow this link.
