Six Sigma

Organizations that adopt Six Sigma as a way of cutting costs, streamlining processes, and improving customer satisfaction are making a long-term commitment to change. Six Sigma teams are constantly looking for new opportunities, questioning established ways of doing things, and proposing new solutions to old problems. To get a quick return on their Six Sigma investments, organizations need to help their Six Sigma teams effectively sell and implement the changes they propose.

Most Six Sigma Black Belts, Green Belts, Master Black Belts, and Champions are armed with extensive training on statistical analysis, project management, business analysis, and other essential skills—but few are adequately prepared with the essential communication skills they will need to move projects forward quickly. Six Sigma projects may slow down or fail when

• managers cannot quickly understand project proposals and their benefits
• information about Six Sigma programs is not easy to find and use
• team communications and reports are inconsistent and difficult to read
• workers find new policies and procedures hard to understand and replicate, or
• documentation and training is inadequate to support major changes to critical processes.

Solutions
By training Six Sigma teams and other communicators to use replicable communication standards, methods, and best practices for developing high-performance communications, you can

• help Six Sigma teams communicate and sell their ideas, plans, and solutions internally
• help workers understand what they are being asked to do, how to do it, and why it is important
• make it easier for managers to quickly understand and respond to Six Sigma proposals and initiatives
• replicate solutions throughout the organization more quickly and consistently, and
• achieve a faster return on investment and greater likelihood of success from your Six Sigma projects.
