DMAIC – Six Sigma Process Improvement

Have you ever wondered what Lean Six Sigma is or how it can help your organization?

Today, many organizations are challenged with doing more with fewer resources; which means they must become more efficient and effective in everything they do.

The gold standard for process thinking and operational improvement has become Lean and Six Sigma. The goal of these methodologies is to engage individuals to transform their organizations to be more efficient and effective by reducing waste, errors, and re-work.

The purpose of this Webinar is to provide you with an understanding of how Six Sigma’s DMAIC methodology works. During the Webinar the University will review each phase of the methodology and the tools that can help transform your organization to be more efficient and effective.

Are You Looking To Become More Agile And Innovative?

Given the complex, often unpredictable nature of today’s global business environment, organizations and their leaders are looking for ways to become more agile and innovative. At the same time, many organizations can ill-afford to forgo rigor and discipline.

In many organizations, employees now pursue an array of different kinds of projects simultaneously. Some are well defined; others need to adapt to rapidly changing scope, emerging technologies and evolving markets.

Within a single company or nonprofit, requirements, expectations and constraints may vary dramatically between product lines, functions or business units, resulting in the need for more or less agility versus discipline. The implications for how the work should be set up and executed can vary widely as a result.

Join the faculty of the Stanford Advanced Project Management program for this conversational and interactive webinar which will feature an open dialogue with Professor Ray Levitt, John Warren and Tim Wasserman. You will come away with valuable insights you can apply as they explore the challenge of how an organization can manage a mix of more versus less agile projects from traditional planning approaches to agile, and everything in-between.

Selecting a vendor through a Request For Proposal (RFP) process doesn’t always guarantee that the solution the vendor proposed, and the project team selected, really meets the project’s needs and stakeholder’s expectations.

Scoring a comprehensive RFP document doesn’t have to be a slow and subjective process. An auto-scoring electronic RFP document that incorporates objective score values and weights can be used to aide in differentiating one vendor’s proposal from another. Additionally, assessing the viability of a vendor to effectively deliver their proposed solution can be part of the scoring process.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• The value of creating an electronic scoring RFP document
• How to create and use an electronic scoring RFP document
• How to assign scores and weights to Requirements and Vendor Questions to take the subjectivity out of the RFP process

Join Solutions Cube for this 1 hour in-depth webinar and learn how to create and use an electronic RFP document to take the subjectivity out of your vendor proposal evaluations.
