The importance of leaders
Leadership is essential to successfully implementing Lean Six Sigma in any organization. From senior management to team leaders, leaders play a critical role in aligning projects with business objectives, focusing on benefits, and keeping initiatives on track. Organizations that effectively leverage their leaders in implementing Lean Six Sigma tend to perform significantly better in achieving their continuous improvement goals.
Leadership in Lean Six Sigma
In any successful Lean Six Sigma deployment, leaders actively participate in various routines and initiatives. In Lean Six Sigma implementation, leaders participate in routines such as Gemba walks, Kaizen events, and apply management practice as standard work for leaders.
They also play a critical role in project selection, ensuring that the chosen projects are aligned with strategic objectives and generate high financial benefit. Leaders communicate and coordinate with other Lean Six Sigma roles, such as Black Belts and Green Belts, and may take on specific roles themselves, such as Sponsors or Champions. These roles are crucial to driving Lean Six Sigma initiatives forward and ensuring their success.
Training for Lean Six Sigma Leaders
To support these vital leadership activities, we offer a range of specialized workshops and training programs. Our workshops are designed to help leaders establish and maintain Lean Six Sigma routines. Role-specific training provides leaders with the skills needed to be effective Sponsors, Champions, or deployment managers.
Workshops for Implementation Support
In addition, we also offer workshops specifically designed to support implementation. These provide guidance on how to contribute to and manage the Lean Six Sigma program.
