Transforming Teams to Achieve Extraordinary Results.
Are you looking for ‘above-average’ results from your major programs and projects?
Or would you prefer EXCEPTIONAL and EXTRAORDINARY?
Check out what Virgin Atlantic founder Richard Branson has to say —
“Don’t think what’s the cheapest way to do it, or what’s the fastest way to do it.
Think what’s the MOST AMAZING WAY to do it!”
Although Gantt charts and spreadsheets are useful, they are not what drive projects to be AMAZING, EXCEPTIONAL, and EXTRAORDINARY.
Certainly, use those tools. And also — Learn to use higher-level problem-solving, communication, and decision methods from outside the traditional PM realm.
A dozen essential yet easy-to-learn Lean Six Sigma tools can help your project teams drive superior decisions and results quickly.

σσ Execute projects and programs by making use of this PURPOSE – PROCESS – PEOPLE framework:
σ The overarching PURPOSE of the organization is to Deliver Value to Customers.
σ Assess and change business PROCESSES in order to Deliver Value Without Waste.
σ Engage PEOPLE by creating a Problem-Solving, Continuous Improvement Culture.
σσ Developing your PMs and high-potential associates into the Next Level Leaders you need for continued business growth.
σσ Helping managers prepare, structure, and run high-impact projects and programs, incorporating proven Lean Six Sigma methods, tools, and techniques in Operations, Engineering, and Cross Functional Programs as described below.

BENEFITS TO YOUR BUSINESS:
Do these program execution and team skill shortcomings ring a bell for you?
σ High-potential technical PMs require more attention than expected.
σ Planning is inadequate, because the team is eager to “jump into doing real work.”
σ Getting full engagement from team members in remote sites proves difficult.
σ Messy transitions to customers often delay project completions.
These examples are tangible symptoms of deeper concerns which can be overcome by applying techniques from the Lean Six Sigma discipline. Working alongside your PMs and their teams in their current phases, we’ll help resolve their current problems. Plus, we’ll work on strategies to improve PM and associates’ skills, solidify team dynamics, and drive toward higher program performance.
