Simplifying and Implementing Process Improvement/Lean/Six

By Craig A. Stevens During the 3/19/2013
PMI Luncheon

• The biggest problem with many of the process improvement
programs is that you have to have a degree in statistics or
engineering to understand them. Not so with the process
improvement programs that Craig develops. He focuses on
three easy to grasp phases: Assessment, Problem Solving,
and Implementation. In this presentation, Craig will walk us
through his three-phase process that incorporates the
concepts of continuous improvement, Lean, Six Sigma,
common sense, and the seven attributes of excellent
management found in his book Geronimo Stone.
