Six Sigma Forum Session Descriptions
Balanced Scorecarding for Six Sigma
Many organizations possess some form of balanced scorecard. However, Six Sigma requires a radical transformation of the strategic mindset from tracking average performance to tracking against the customer "repel" point. E.g., rather than track the average length of ED patient stay, Six Sigma organizations will track the percent of patient's whose stay is less than 150 minutes, attempting to drive this to the six sigma level, or 99.9997%. During this session, leaders will review the 9 key concepts of balanced scorecarding for Six Sigma & interactively address questions & issues.
- Facilitator: Chip Caldwell, FACHESix Sigma: Becoming a Black Belt
Quality professionals, management engineers, and industrial engineers are looking to raise their skills to the next the Six Sigma level. During this session, leaders will discuss the role of Six Sigma as a strategy deployment approach so they can present Six Sigma to the CEO and other senior leaders from their perspective and discuss the major differences between PI thinking and Six Sigma thinking and how to progress to the next level.
- Facilitator: Master Black Belt StaffSix Sigma Strategy Deployment for Senior Leaders (Parts 1 & 2)
Six Sigma is being recognized as an important tool to drive out medical errors, reduce unnecessary waits & delays, while recovering costs lost to poor quality. Every successful methodology requires strategic alignment, adequate infrastructure development, system mapping, key driver determination, and results tracking. Avoid a "project-by-project" mindset so common among Six Sigma professionals, instead setting up a 3-year core process strategy involving strategic goals for quality and cost recovery and simultaneously deploying multiple improvement methods in an orderly strategic framework. During this 2-part session, learn the role of executives and quality professionals in a successful 6 Sigma rollout and a new way of thinking about quality, the Cost of Quality (COQ), and recovering costs associated with COQ (and leave the "slash & burn" approach behind forever.)
- Facilitator: Chip CaldwellLeading a Six Sigma Workout: A Rapid Improvement and Cost Recovery Approach
Attend this program to achieve quantum results through deployment of accelerated methods like PICOs, GM's successful approach to rapid improvement, and accelerated replication. Research suggests that as much as 60 percent of process improvement consists of wasted effort. If your current approaches could benefit from energizing and acceleration, don't miss this session.
- Facilitator: StaffStatistical Methods for Black Belts - 7 Lessons in Six Sigma Statistical Thinking
Many quality professionals and current Green Belts and Black Belts feel a need to move to the next level to optimize the power of DMAIC's statistical approach. These seven lessons, taken together or separately, provide current leaders with a few more notches in their Black Belt tool kit. See the Registration Form for descriptions of each session.

Facilitators: Tom Day, Pres, HMC, & Chip CaldwellQuantum Improvers vs Non-Starters: A Comparison of Organizational Characteristics
A majority of organizations purchase comparative data. Some of these excel in goal-setting, improvement method use, role clarity among senior leaders and managers, and flawless execution, while others seem to get stuck in the mud. This session will reveal secrets from interviews of CEOs, senior leaders, project engineers, and managers among quantum improvers and non-starters.
