Deployment Planning is the most critical exercise in your journey to Lean & Six Sigma business excellence.  This is where your executive leadership team will translate the strategic vision for Lean Six Sigma into a customized plan that will take into consideration every aspect of your organization’s universe – a suit that has been tailored to fit your specific needs and challenges. The e-Zsigma™ Deployment Planning Workshop will take your team, step-by-step, through your organization hierarchy, providing thought-provoking questions and exercises that will assist you in the construction of your own, unique Lean Six Sigma deployment strategy. It is this upfront investment that separates Lean Six Sigma as a Process Improvement Tool from Lean Six Sigma as a Total Management Philosophy… and also separates the “best from the rest”. Process Improvement Tool   Quality department initiative….manufacturing centric   Project by project approach   Low organizational visibility   No real incentive to improve   Not necessarily aligned with strategic goals   Train people & expect results   Less overall financial impact on organizational performance   Total Management Philosophy Committed management team driving the effort Alignment with Strategic Objectives Setting clear financial targets Visibility at all levels: Accountability for results Incentive compensation aligned Mobilizing the best resources Training, coaching at all levels Cross-fertilization: knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices There can be no question that your degree of success during the actual deployment of a Lean Six Sigma strategic program is directly proportionate to the efforts put forth by your team during Deployment Planning.
