Aligning Lean Six Sigma, Business Process Management and SOA to Accelerate Results
Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2009
Time: 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET
Duration: 60 minutes
Overview:
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) produces real results in difficult economic times by uncovering process waste, reducing non-value adding activity, and increasing productivity. Business process management (BPM) and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) combine with LSS to accelerate improvements and results. At the same time, this combination increases organizational flexibility and technology-enabled responsiveness, key to positioning the company for growth as the economy improves.
The objective of this presentation is to describe the benefits of aligning LSS, SOA and BPM. We describe the key concepts of each, share a proven BPM-based improvement framework, and discuss techniques used to select the right project and methods of calculating ROI. We highlight LSS/BPM best practices, the value of measures and monitoring, and steps to get started.
Have your questions answered in a live Q&A; session.
All registrants who attend this live Web Seminar will receive a complimentary white paper on combining BPM, SOA, and LSS.
