Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma: Building Positive and Engaging Business Improvement

Achieving greater efficiency and effectiveness have always been very important for both for-profit and public sector organizations. Many organizations and government agencies mandate Lean programs in the hope of achieving these objectives, but often these programs underperform and result in resistance.

Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma helps increase the level of employees’ engagement with Lean initiatives by shifting the conversation from “what is not efficient or non-value-add and needs to be removed/reduced” to “what is already efficient/value adding and can be built upon or expanded.”  Combining the energy and motivation released through a strengths-based approach with the focus on quality and efficiency generated by Lean Six Sigma, the book offers practitioners the opportunity to understand each other and work successfully together to drive effective and powerful change programs.
