When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

2. An Introduction to Lean Six
Sigma
“We don’t know what we don’t know.
We can’t act on what we don’t know.
We won’t know until we search.
We won’t search for what we don’t question.
We don’t question what we don’t measure.
Hence, we just don’t know.”
Dr. Mikel Harry

2. Clarify Problem
3. Locate Point of Cause
4. Root Cause Analysis
5. Design Solutions
6. Measure Effectiveness
7. Standardize
4. Lean Six Sigma Process Improvement
• Lean Six Sigma Seeks to improve the quality
of manufacturing and business process by:
– identifying and removing the causes of defects
(errors) and variation.
– Identifying and removing sources of waste
within the process
– Focusing on outputs that are critical to
customers Define

8. Background on Lean
• Lean comes out of the industrial engineering world
• Taiichi Ohno – Toyota Production System.
– 1940s-1950s company was on verge of bankruptcy
– Dynamics of industry were changing – moving from mass
production to more flexible, shorter, varied batch runs (people
wanted more colors, different features, more models, etc).
• Ohno was inspired by 3 observations on a trip to America
– Henry Ford’s assembly line inspired the principle of flow (keep
products moving because no value is added while it is sitting
still)
– The Indy 500 – Rapid Changeover
– The American Grocery Store – led to the Pull system – material
use signals when and how stock needs to be replenished
9. Path To Lean
Theory Waste is Deadly
Application 1. Define Value – act on what is
important to the customer
2. Identify Value Stream – understand
what steps in the process add value
and which don’t
3. Make it flow – keep the work moving
at all times and eliminate waste that
creates delay
4. Let customer pull -- Avoid making more
or ordering more inputs for customer
demand you don’t have
5. Pursue perfection -- there is no
optimum level of performance
Focus Flow Focused
Assumptions Non-Value added steps exit
Results Reduced cycle time
10. Waste Defined
Wastes Healthcare Examples
Transport 1. Moving patients from room to room
2. Poor workplace layouts, for patient services
3. Moving equipment in and out of procedure room or operating room
Inventory 1. Overstocked medications on units/floors or in pharmacy
2. Physician orders building up to be entered
3. Unnecessary instruments contained in operating kits
Motion 1. Leaving patient rooms to:
• Get supplies or record
• Documents care provided
2. Large reach/walk distance to complete a process step
Waiting 1. Idle equipment/people
2. Early admissions for procedures later in the day
3. Waiting for internal transport between departments
Over-Production 1. Multiple signature requirements
2. Extra copies of forms
3. Multiple information systems entries
4. Printing hard copy of report when digital is sufficient
Over-Processing 1. Asking the patient the same questions multiple times
2. Unnecessary carbon copying
3. Batch printing patient labels
Defects 1. Hospital-acquired illness
2. Wrong-site surgeries
3. Medication errors
4. Dealing with service complaints
5. Illegible, handwritten information
6. Collection of incorrect patient information
Skills 1. Not using people’s mental, creative, and physical abilities
2. Staff not involved in redesigning processes in their workplace
3. Nurses and Doctors spending time locating equipment and supplies
4. Staff rework due to system failures
11. Lean Foundations
• Standardized Work – people should analyze their work
and define the way that best meets the needs of all
stakeholders.
– “The current one best way to safely complete an activity
with the proper outcome and the highest quality, using the
fewest possible resources”
– Standardized not Identical – mindless conformity and the
thoughtful setting of standards should not be confused
– Written by those who do the work.
• Level loading – smoothing the workflow and patient
flow throughout the hospital.
• Kaizen – continuous improvement
12. Lean Methods
• Kaizen Events (or SCORE events)
– Planned and structured process that enables a small group of people
to improve some aspect of their business in a quick, focused manner.
• Select
• Clarify
• Organize
• Run
• Evaluate
• 5S – this methodology reduces waste through improved workplace
organization and visual management
– Sort, Store, Shine, Standardize and Sustain
• Kanban – a Japanese term that can be translated as “signal,” “card,”
or “sign.”
– Most often a physical signal (paper card of plastic bin), that indicates
when it is time to order more, from whom, and in what quantity.
13. Lean vs. Six Sigma
• Lean tends to be used for shorter, less complex problems. Often
time driven. Focus is on eliminating wasteful steps and practices.
• Six Sigma is a bigger more analytical approach – often quality driven
– it tends to have a statistical approach. Focus on optimizing the
important steps – reducing defects.
• Some argue Lean moves the mean, SixSigma moves the variance.
But they are often used together and should not be viewed as
having different objectives.
– Waste elimination eliminates an opportunity to make a defect
– Less rework means faster cycle times
• Six Sigma training might be specialized to the “quality” department,
but everyone in the organization should be trained in Lean

17. What Makes a Good Lean Six Sigma
Project?
• There is no known solution
• The root cause is not known
• The problem is complex and needs statistical
analysis
• The problem is part of a process
• The process is repeatable
• A defect can be defined
• Project will take 3-6 months
• There are data available
18. The DMAIC Methodology
• Define – describe the problem quantifiably and the
underlying process to determine how performance will
be measured.
• Measure – use measures or metrics to understand
performance and the improvement opportunity.
• Analyze – identify the true root cause(s) of the
underlying problem.
• Improve – identify and test the best improvements that
address the root causes.
• Control – identify sustainment strategies that ensure
process performance maintains the improved state.
19. Define
• Define Scope of the Problem
– Document the Process
– Collect and Translate the Voice of the Customer
• Determine Project Objective and Benefits
– Define Metrics and Defects
– Establish Preliminary Baseline
– Develop Problem & Objective Statements
– Estimate Financial Benefit
20. Define (continued)
• Create Project Charter
– Confirm Improvement Methodology
– Define Project Roles and Responsibilities
– Identify Risks
– Establish Timeline
– Managerial Buy-in
• Focus here is on the problem
21. Measure
Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so” – Galileo
• Define “As Is” process
– Value stream map/process flow diagram
• Validate Measurement System for Outputs
– Don’t assume your measurements are accurate –
measuring system must accurately tell what is
happening
• Quantify Process Performance
– Collect data (Y’s)
– Examine process stability/capability analysis
22. Analyze
• Identify Potential Causes (X’s)
• Investigate Significance of X’s
– Collect data on x’s
– Graphical/Quantitative analysis
• Pareto Chart
• Fishbone Diagram (cause and effect)
• Chi Square Test
• Regression Analysis
• Failure Mode Effects Analysis
• Identify Significant Causes to focus on (y=f(X))
– Evaluate the impact of x’s on y
• Here you identify the critical factors of a “good” output and
the root causes of defects or “bad” output.
24. Control
• Create Control & Monitoring Plan
– Mistake proof the process
– Determine the x’s to control and methods
– Determine Y’s to monitor
• Implement Full Scale Solution
– Revise/develop process
– Implement and evaluate solution
• Finalize Transition
– Develop transition plan
– Handoff process to owner
