Webinar: Going Remote - How Process Improvement Teams Collaborate Virtually
Ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, those of us in Continuous Improvement roles have had to rethink how we can continue on our improvement journey. For many of us, team collaboration in the same physical space has proven to be a very effective way to engage employees, surface problems, collaborate on the design of countermeasures, and drive buy-in. But in this new environment of physical distancing and remote workers, gathering all the parties in the same room is not an option for many organizations.
In this webinar, you’ll learn—and see examples of—how teams have effectively used Zoom in conjunction with Miro (a collaborative, virtual, workspace app) to drive participant engagement in activities such as Hoshin Kanri and Rapid Improvement (Kaizen) Events.
Attend this webinar and you’ll learn:
- What are the different types of team events & how they differ from each other (Kaizen / Rapid Improvement Events; Rapid Planning Events; Value Stream Mapping; Hoshin Kanri)
- What adjustments have been made in planning and facilitating these events during the pandemic
- How to use online collaborative tools to facilitate events with remote teams
- What are the benefits of online collaborative tools
- Q&A
Webinar: Remote Learning - How to Successfully Switch Lean Six Sigma Training...
Did the pandemic force you to re-think your Lean Six Sigma training approach? Are you interested in adapting to a virtual approach without losing effectiveness? Do you want to increase your rate of real-world application and get better process improvement results?
Then this webinar is for you! We’ll provide insights on how to successfully transition to a “Remote Learning” model by incorporating independent study, instructor-led training sessions and maximizing engagement.
Webinar: How Tax Preparers & Accountants Can Increase Their Profitability Usi...
Tax return preparation is increasingly becoming a commodity. Automation can help reduce the level of manual work required for return preparation, but if you automate a “bad process” you still won’t see an increase in profitability or improved client service.
Tax practices should apply Lean Six Sigma (LSS) before automating their tax workflows to optimize processes and automation, while still remaining in compliance with professional standards.
Attend this webinar and you’ll learn how to:
- Apply Lean Six Sigma to tax workflow
- Combine tax automation with value pricing
- Increase your practice’s profitability

Project Storyboard: Reducing Cycle Time for Bid Tab Creation by 33%
Think it's impossible to make a significant change in government? Well, it's not easy, but GoLeanSixSigmna.com Black Belt Pamela Kuehling made a real difference from the inside. She overturned countless "honest wrong beliefs" with facts and data by modeling the Lean Six Sigma approach in her work and won over the doubters.
Initially the overall procurement process was the focus, but when that proved to be too big, she scoped it down to a more manageable project that can now be the basis for an expanded improvement. Her improvement was meaningful, but a bigger victory was in bringing critical and logical thinking into an environment often impacted by less scientific influences!
WEBINAR: Introduction to Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping is an essential tool to help understand the current state and design the future state of a process. Learn more about why this kind of mapping is fundamental for a big picture view of an entire Value Stream and for improving transactional and manufacturing processes.
SUCCESS STORY: Reducing Hiring Time From 10 Months to 36 Days
Kent partnered with Cassandra to improve the Illinois Tollway’s hiring process that was 95% paper-based and would take over 10 months to fill a position. They were also facing a high turn-over rate, lack of technological assistance, and low applicant alignment to position needs. As it stood, the hiring process could use some help.
They started out by asking themselves two questions:
- What’s possible?
- What approach should we use to improve the hiring process?
In order to answer their first question, they needed to develop a better understanding of the current process. They chose to use DMAIC as their approach to improving the hiring process. They also thought it was important to identify the inhibitors of process change within the Illinois Tollway. Unfortunately, There were several: politics, policy, law, processes, technology, culture, and staff.
With their approach determined and inhibitors in mind, they set out to map their process.
SUCCESS STORY: How King County Treasury Reduced Taxpayer Late Fees by 62%, Fe...
Ana Schoenecker has worked for the King County Treasury for 14 years. She is the current Real Property Administrator for the Property Tax Office and she is a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Laura Wilson has worked for King County for almost 12 years and in Treasury for 6 years. She is a Fiscal Specialist in the Property Tax Office and she is also a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
After receiving many calls from angry taxpayers who were forced to pay extra interest and penalties on their mortgages, Ana and Laura knew that their mail blow backs were responsible.
The Challenge:
Mail blow backs are any returned mail that was unable to be delivered. In this case, payment deadlines were being mailed but due to outdated information in their system, many taxpayers weren’t receiving these notices. When this mail is not received, taxpayers end up paying later and larger delinquency fees - resulting in lower customer satisfaction with the county.
The Discovery:
Ana and Laura started their project by gathering the Voice of the Customer to better understand their customer requirements. They then created a SIPOC to understand the scope of their project and used an “As-Is” Process Map to understand the full process end-to-end.
After mapping their process, they formed a Data Collection Plan, collected sample baseline data from 2016, and found that taxpayers who did not receive their notice letter paid an average of $409 in late fees! Taxpayers who were not able to be notified for years were even approaching foreclosure. Not good!
So Ana and Laura decided to create a Fishbone Diagram to identify potential root causes for this issue and verified their Root Causes to vet the suspected problem-causers. One discovery was that there was no follow-up process to ensure that returned mail would eventually reach taxpayers and this needed to change.
The Improvements:
Ana and Laura completed a Solution Selection Matrix and were able to identify the best solution for their problem. They decided to add steps to their process to follow up on this returned mail in order to better provide taxpayers with the ability to avoid increased interest payments and penalty fees.
The steps they added were:
Revenue Collections would forward the returned mail to Treasury
Treasury Customer Service would research returned notices, update address information in their system, reissue the notices, and track them to ensure they are delivered
After implementing these two steps into their process, they saw an enormous benefit to their taxpayers:
- In 2018, taxpayers paid an average of $253 less in interest and penalties than in 2016
- In 2018, Taxpayers paid an average of 2.5 months faster than they did in 2016

PROJECT STORYBOARD: Project Storyboard: Reducing Underwriting Resubmits by Ov...
GoLeanSixSigma.com Black Belt Tyson Simmons project to reduce underwriting package defects and subsequent re-submission demonstrates some great points. His team voted to narrow down potential root causes and noted them with dots on their Fishbone Diagram. Then the big "Oh darn!" When they tested the suspected root causes (analyst and submitter), neither of them proved to be statistically significant.
What do you do when all of your root causes prove to be false? You go back and look for more which is what Tyson did. The red dots on the Fishbone Diagram suggested the next possible root cause, which did prove out. Nice job, Tyson, for sticking with the process and shooting right past your goal!

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

After mapping their process, they formed a Data Collection Plan, collected sample baseline data from 2016, and found that taxpayers who did not receive their notice letter paid an average of $409 in late fees! Taxpayers who were not able to be notified for years were even approaching foreclosure. Not good!
So Ana and Laura decided to create a Fishbone Diagram to identify potential root causes for this issue and verified their Root Causes to vet the suspected problem-causers. One discovery was that there was no follow-up process to ensure that returned mail would eventually reach taxpayers and this needed to change.
The Improvements:
Ana and Laura completed a Solution Selection Matrix and were able to identify the best solution for their problem. They decided to add steps to their process to follow up on this returned mail in order to better provide taxpayers with the ability to avoid increased interest payments and penalty fees.
The steps they added were:
Revenue Collections would forward the returned mail to Treasury
Treasury Customer Service would research returned notices, update address information in their system, reissue the notices, and track them to ensure they are delivered
After implementing these two steps into their process, they saw an enormous benefit to their taxpayers:
- In 2018, taxpayers paid an average of $253 less in interest and penalties than in 2016
- In 2018, Taxpayers paid an average of 2.5 months faster than they did in 2016

GoLeanSixSigma.com Black Belt Tyson Simmons project to reduce underwriting package defects and subsequent re-submission demonstrates some great points. His team voted to narrow down potential root causes and noted them with dots on their Fishbone Diagram. Then the big "Oh darn!" When they tested the suspected root causes (analyst and submitter), neither of them proved to be statistically significant.
What do you do when all of your root causes prove to be false? You go back and look for more which is what Tyson did. The red dots on the Fishbone Diagram suggested the next possible root cause, which did prove out. Nice job, Tyson, for sticking with the process and shooting right past your goal!

PROJECT STORYBOARD: Reducing Software Bug Fix Lead Time From 25 to 15 days
GoLeanSixSigma.com Green Belt Eduardo Torres did a great job of cutting waste out of the process of fixing software bugs. The use of software is growing fast, and with no known way to guarantee new software is error-free, rapidly fixing bugs found is critical. Eduardo not only cut nearly 40% of the process time, but also cut the variability in half, greatly improving reliability!

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
