Deployment Planning is the most critical exercise in your journey to Six Sigma business excellence.  This is where your executive leadership team will translate the strategic vision for 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 six sigma deployment strategy. It is this upfront investment that separates Six Sigma as a Process Improvement Tool from 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 Six Sigma strategic program is directly proportionate to the efforts put forth by your team during Deployment Planning.
