15 Objectives for your Lean Six Sigma Projects in 2013
Based on the conversations this year I had with both executives and lean six sigma black belts from at least four continents to identify specific challenges, below is a list of the top 15 areas/objectives I think you may want to consider in your Lean Six Sigma projects in 2013:
- Change Management and Change Models
- Leadership Engagement
- Driving Innovation
- Creating quick wins throughout the project
- Creating sustainable results
- Building organizational capacity
- Establishing trust throughout the organization
- Creating an environment of continuous learning, innovation and process improvement
- Generating noticeable results quickly, i.e. the wow factor
- Increasing personal satisfaction and contribution from all employees
- Increasing the return on all organizational assets
- Solving long lasting and persistent organizational problem
- Winning the hearts and minds of employees
- Getting the organization to focus on both short- and long-term objectives
- Increasing the return on investment from training so that training is not viewed as an expense but an investment.
What other areas/objectives would you consider in your next lean six sigma project?
