Sponsored by: PEX – The Process Excellence Network

Lean Six Sigma, Business Transformation, Operational Excellence, Change Management – it doesn’t matter what you call it, if you are in the business of improvement – this webinar is for you. Put simply, Business Execution is literally transforming the way organizations think about and approach improvement.

The big idea is that it’s not (just) about the methodologies, tools and frameworks, it’s about how you pull it all together – how you link what your organization is trying to achieve (its goals) to the things you are doing to make them happen (the initiatives) and ultimately how you get clarity of whether those initiatives are moving the dials (metrics) we care about.

Join Paul Docherty, (LinkedIn profile) founder of i-nexus and a pioneer in the discipline of Business Execution, as he explains how you can take your transformation initiative to the next level – moving from a focus on financial benefits to a focus on whether your initiative is actually moving the dials that track achievement of the strategic goals.

Take part in this LinkedIn poll on the registration page to vote on the primary way organizations measure the success of process excellence initiatives and during the webinar Paul will discuss the results.
