Quality and Process Excellence crossindustry

July 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Business process improvement through such strategic initiatives as  Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma, IT and Cultural Transformation are now needed more than ever before. Even if your organization is involved in these process excellence initiatives, it’s time to take a closer look at efforts versus results. Only enhanced creativity and innovation in our business process improvement efforts will relieve the pain points in our businesses. In this economic crisis there is probably nothing with a higher ROI than a well-structured, well-executed business process excellence initiative.

When people work on strategically important improvement efforts, it makes them feel important. Business process excellence provides an escape from worrying about what they can’t control. Business process excellence enriches team members by allowing them to think beyond their own responsibilities and beyond the box  “out-of-the-box” . Business process improvement allows all employees,  from various functional areas and backgrounds, to pursue common interests and become energized from each other. Business process improvement facilitates the values of dignity, respect, trust, collaboration and a shared commitment of success.
