Both of these methods were created out of need – need to change the
outcomes from business processes to better solve customer’s problems with the least amount of effort and cost
Lean Six Sigma Has Had Great
Success • Longest surviving improvement
methodology in history
• Over 50% of the Fortune 500 are using Lean Six Sigma – that we know of
• Over 9,340,000 mentions of Lean Six Sigma on the internet in a single Google Search
• Every top management consulting firm now offers some form of Lean Six Sigma consulting
• Dozens (if not hundreds) of LSS training programs
• Companies espouse their cost savings from LSS at every opportunity

…but despite all the success of LSS
companies were still unprepared for
the economic downturn…too much
inventory, too many resources and
poor responsiveness…
What Did It Cost Us? • Large U.S. and European
banks lost more than $1 trillion on toxic assets
• Unemployment hit 10.2% in the US
• Real GDP declines at 6% per year
• $1.3 trillion in personal wealth wiped out

…companies who had LSS programs suffered a similar
fate to those who did not…
Lehman Brothers had a strong
LSS program
What Could Have Been Done
Differently • The world has changed
– Proliferation of consumer choice and complexity
– Instant access to information – customers, competitors, suppliers and shareholders
– Globalization and interconnectivity of the world economy
– The disappearance of “sustainable competitive advantage”
• But most companies continue to follow the same playbooks they have always followed
– They believe the economy moves in predictable cycles
– Companies have a playbook for the upswings and another for the downturns
– LSS plays a role in both – but only linked to efficiency, cost and quality

…efficiency and effectiveness are table stakes – without them you are
simply not in business…companies must find radically shift their
paradigms…
…the world is changing but few
companies are keeping up…
The New Business Normal “Organizations are bombarded by change, and many are struggling to keep up. Eight out of
ten CEOs see significant change ahead, and yet the gap between expected change and
the ability to manage it has almost tripled since the 2006 Global CEO Study”

New business conditions in the future will more closely resemble navigating through white water than surviving predictable economic cycles:
• Change will continue to accelerate • Threats will come from every direction • Storms will become normal with intermittent hurricanes
• Unpredictable and unseen risks
Within the next 10 years only 1/3 of companies today will survive as they are today.

Preparing for the Future
At a time when firms in many industries offer similar products and use comparable technologies, business processes are among the last remaining points of differentiation.

As simple as it sounds, few business
leaders today recognize the impact of processes on their ability for companies
to survive and thrive in the future.

In the future companies will have to think of their business as
a portfolio of processes – designed for agility to respond to an unpredictable business environment
What Are Companies Doing Today?
• One foot is still in the economic crisis…
– Efficiency and Cost
– Working capital and cash
• Many are starting to focus on the recovery…
– Innovation
– Growth
– New business models
– Efficient recovery
• Focus on “uneducated” opportunities
– Applying process thinking to daily business management practices
– Focus on revenue generation – sales, revenue capture, marketing
– Accelerating and transforming strategic planning processes
– Risk management, legal, customer segmentation

Principles for the Future
• Business Intelligence to guide actions
• Mission and Purpose as the organizational compass
• Deliberate Practice to Build Agility – Decision making processes at
the point of impact – Response to opportunities and
threats – Continued refinement of
operations and technology – Innovation and new offerings

View the organization as a portfolio of processes which must be
transformed and orchestrated
Tiger Woods regularly practices this shot, although he may only see it under tournament conditions 2-3
times per year
The Role of LSS and Practitioners • LSS will provide the best tools,
principles and methods for focusing on business processes
• Companies must expand LSS beyond the low-hanging fruit which has been the focus for the last 5+ years – apply the tools in uncommon areas
• Practitioners must educate, coach and push their organizations to capture more benefit from the internal CI teams
• LSS will not be the end-game in the future – it will be one element of a convergence of tools which will drive necessary agility and performance
