2009 content and feedback

For 4 days practical applications and business strategies were thrashed out and notes compared. For those of you that couldn't make the dates just a few valuable take-homes for leaders in Business Excellence alike were:

• Lead by example: No Lean Six Sigma program can reach it's full potential without strong leadership and empowerment for change throughout the organization
• Innovation is key: Ensure that you think outside the box to create a brand new market proposition and become the best in business
• Go enterprise wide: For large scale changes and to fight the economic downturn, Process Excellence needs to happen at all levels in the business
• Be intelligent: Leverage the right tools, at the right time to ensure you hit maximum returns from Process Excellence and accelerate ROI
