Accelerating Business Process Improvement Benefits Realization
Presented by Global Performance Excellence Webinars
Speaker: Jared Frederici
Friday, Nov. 15, 11 a.m. to noon ET
We want to share recent innovations in essentially accelerating Integrated LeanSigma (DMAIC) projects and driving through to Benefits Realization by speeding up the Define-Measure-Analyze stages. We'll share how to nail the right Definition for your most important BPI projects and then how to accelerate through the Measure Phase using focused interviewing and data extraction and also effective use of tools like Minitab and PowerBI. We're finding ways to shrink what have traditionally been 5 month DMAIC projects down to 5 Weeks to get through to the IMPROVE stage and into implementation.
