Any Enterprise Transformation initiative, whether through Process Reengineering or Lean Six Sigma is an expensive and risky undertaking. If the objective is breakthrough performance improvement, the project may extend for anywhere from one to eight months and consume not only funding resources, but also huge amounts of intellectual capital of people whom otherwise would be doing something else. This course gives you an in-depth immersion into the world of Project Leadership by teaching you how to initiate, plan, control, and complete your projects more efficiently and effectively. Project Management is defined as “the application of concepts, techniques, and principles to optimize project success”. The course provides practical concepts, techniques, and tools you can use to ensure your Process Reengineering, Lean Six Sigma, or other Performance Improvement project gets the results you need to be competitive!

Project Management brings a much-needed discipline to the process improvement effort by defining key work activities and resources that are needed to efficiently and effectively execute the Lean Six Sigma project. Many times the project crosses many functional and departmental boundaries and requires an ability to be both the analyst and the politician. Add to that the need for the team to keep on track and on budget and you have a very delicate balance indeed. Project Management skills are critical!

This course is for anyone who will be responsible for managing, leading, and coordinating Process Reengineering or Lean Six Sigma projects in support of an Enterprise Transformation initiative that requires knowledge of practical, formal project management concepts, techniques, and tools.

Process Discovery is an integrated approach to fully defining and documenting an enterprise’s core business processes. By combining techniques of process modeling, mapping and analysis, the team will discover the details of “what” the organization does and nuances of “how” the organization creates value for its customer.

Process Discovery (Process Modeling, Mapping and Analysis) is a critical step in the “Measure” stage of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology as well as the “Establish the As-Is Baseline” stage of Business Process Reengineering (BPR). These techniques are used to not only document the baseline process activities, but also to document the flow of information through those activities.   

This workshop is designed to provide the student an overview of how Process/Activity Modeling is applied to an organization as part of any process improvement effort, including Lean, Six Sigma, and Business Process Reengineering (BPR). Process/Activity Modeling (Process Discovery) is a critical step in the “Measure” phase of the DMAIC methodology as well as the “Establish the As-Is Baseline” stage of BPR. These techniques are used to not only document the baseline process activities, but also to document the flow of information through the activities. The workshop provides a solid foundation for anyone involved in, or interested in, the design, implementation, or application of Process/Activity Modeling during a Lean, Six Sigma, or reengineering project.

Today, throughout both the commercial and government sectors, change is inevitable. Performance Improvement is the watchword. Budgets are being slashed at all levels. Business Process Management & Reengineering (BPM / BPR) has been relied on as a means to significantly improve an organization’s performance. BPM / BPR is defined as the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes and culture to bring about dramatic improvements in organizational performance.

It’s an exciting philosophy that encompasses many, if not all, of the improvement concepts and techniques that have been used over the past 50 years, including such areas as Six Sigma/Lean, TQM (continuous process improvement), performance measurement, productivity improvement, as well as others.

This course is designed to provide the student an understanding of what Business Process Management & Reengineering (BPMR) is and how it can be effectively and successfully applied in any organization. The course is designed for individuals currently or soon to be involved in a Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), including BPR, Business Process Management (BPM), Lean Six Sigma, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), or organizations going through significant budget cuts; or those who need to know how to implement such projects in the aftermath of budget reductions.

The intent of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification is to develop team members who have the basic skills to contribute to process improvement projects. These individuals operate under the watchful eye of the project team leader who is normally a more advanced Black Belt or senior process improvement practitioner. Our seasoned corporate trainers are process improvement experts who use a myriad of learning techniques and tools, such as guided discussions, case studies, individual exercises, quizzes, and outside readings to truly connect with the student. 

Individuals who are looking for an in-depth, understanding of the application of Lean Six Sigma concepts, techniques and tools to their organization.
