Key Takeaways:

1. Use case studies to earn trust. Build that trust, create that concept, prove that concept and then create a storyboard to sell it to the wider organisation. Earning that trust early on really does builds solid foundations to move forward.
2. Target low hanging fruit, prove the methodology.
3. Think about communications. How do you share activity and progress on what you’re doing? How do you share that with the rest of the team? How do you share that with the frontline? How do you share that with the senior leaders?
4. Show and tail events are a great mechanism to really visualise what you’ve done. Shout from the rooftops about how great the methodology that you followed is, what it has delivered for the business and how it’s benefited the people.
5. Build skills, knowledge and confidence within the organisation. It’s all about the people, if you can develop the people and take them along the journey with you, you are only going to get stronger. The organisation will grow in strength and in numbers and it’s an amazing feeling when you start to see all of these problems being solved at root cause level by various different people. Then, you can design new processes using Lean Six Sigma and similar methodologies to help you design them in a robust way.
6. Try and convince your senior leaders that you don’t need to know the answer at the outset of a project. Trust the process, follow the steps of DMAIC, the define the measure, the analyse, the improve, and the control. Trust that process it does work and it will guide you towards a root cause problem and a solution that fixes that problem at that level.
7. In time it will become the way you do things trust it go with it, it does work I promise you
