With knowing how this current state of affairs affected your business, you can now strengthen parts of your company that require it. As many of us have done in the past with earthquake preparedness, let us learn from this and not procrastinate.

If your business doesn’t have any remote positions, ask yourself could any of the current administrative positions be remote? Of course they can, but you need to have a system in place and the time is now. 

Productivity Improvement

There are two great apps that help connect the entire team whether your team is small, medium or large. These apps literally make the entire company portable. You can communicate in real time and immediately. They even have chat and call options.

Think about it this way: does driving to a physical class add to the learning? How about finding a place to park? Using gas to get to class? How about the stress of driving in traffic? We have trimmed all of this waste off so that you can get a great learning experience. You will get the same knowledge in the zen environment of your own home.

With the new year around the corner, we look back at what we’ve shared about the Six Sigma methodologies and how it can help apply in all aspects of life. So, let’s take a look back at some of our inspirational posts from 2019.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could start the new year with a clean slate? No weight to lose, no bad habits to get rid of, no decluttering to do. Well it’s not the way it is, but Six Sigma’s DMAIC template can not only help you lose weight but also help you figure out why you gained the weight in the first place. From the blog, Six Sigma and Your Diet. 

Why not try Kaizen for removing a bad habit? That’s right, this solution for continuous improvement is also an effective way to rid your bad habits. As with any improvement, accountability is very important. Get your closest friends and family members involved; this will set have a tremendous effect on your end result! From the blog, Kaizen Cycle Use for Eliminating a Habit. 

Help get decluttered and organized with Six Sigma’s 5S Tool. This tool is a gem and it really works for getting rid of what you don’t need. From the blog Infographic: The 5S Tool.

This past year we learned just how flexible Six Sigma tools and methodologies really are. The principles of Six Sigma are not just for businesses anymore. Happy New Year from our family to yours!

Adapting Lean Six Sigma in a Global Organization

Presented by: Steven H. Jones, Senior Director at Concentrix

Date: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 at 2 pm CT

Over the last 30+ years, Lean Six Sigma has spread from manufacturing into service industries across North America. Although many elements of Lean originated in Japanese manufacturing, the expanded Lean Six Sigma toolset has spread across the rest of the world. In doing so, organizations of all technical skill levels have sought to adopt the methodology to achieve breakthrough results and success, but with mixed success. There is no shortage of articles and commentaries on why or how LSS failed. In this webinar, we will discuss how to adapt LSS in global organizations with varying technical skill sets to achieve tangible results.
