Six Sigma Executive Conference

The Tech Group is pleased to offer its customers the opportunity to attend the Six Sigma Executive Summit on October 27-28, 2004. Due to overwhelming requests to conduct a Six Sigma executive training seminar, our Process Excellence Department, and other departments within the Tech Group, have combined their skills, experience and knowledge of Lean/Sigma to create this executive seminar. Designed for middle to top-level executive teams, this course explains the core concepts of Six Sigma and how it can affect an organization's performance.

With growing global competition, companies are under greater pressure than ever to reduce time to market, delivery time and cost, as well as improving quality. Companies have turned to Lean/Sigma to help achieve these goals.

This two day class teaches executives how to properly identify projects, foresee potential project obstacles and set realistic expectations that drive financial results. In addition, attendees will also be taught the necessary Lean/Sigma infrastructure, deployment roles and responsibilities and how to establish positive cultural changes within your company. Interactive sessions with hands-on exercises will be conducted to reinforce the theoretical concepts.
