Here is a startling statistic! 8 or 9 organizations out of 10 embarking on a major improvement effort such as deploying Lean Six Sigma (LSS) or Operational Excellence (OpEx) failto get the results they should.
So, what is the root cause of this statistic? A) Our inability to learn the tools and techniques or B) Getting people to adopt and change their behaviors to use the tools
Organizations often fail due to the lack of execution of the strategy laid-out by top executives. It is an issue that is run into no matter the type of organization. It could be a private organization, apublic organization, a non-profit organization or a government organization of all levels (such as local, state or federal).
Why are certain organizations successful in their operational transformations? And why do some fail? Let’s look at 8 different organizations, their top leaders and their journey.
First, let’s look at the common threads in executives that saw SUCCESS! This was a small family-owned manufacturing firm with 75 employees. experiencing a significant loss in sales during the year that was putting it at financial risk. They realized that by doing what they had always done and receiving unsatisfactory results for it was a form of insanityThe first thing they did was to embrace the concept of re-thinking their order processing in 80% of their volume. In addition, for the first time in their 30+ year history a team-based and inclusive approach to making important operating decisions was embraced. Finally, they invested in developing workforce skills to support their vision. The result was to completely reverse the losses and record one of the best years ever in sales volumes and profitability.
The top leadership executives in the second organization decided a piece-meal approach to using Lean Six Sigma was not working. They decided that in a medium-sized private manufacturer with more than 1,000 employees in several plants, the level of cooperation across functions and plants must change if the company was to prosper in the face of increasing competition. A unified, ‘customer driven pursuit of excellence’ initiative was embraced with an immense escalation of communications and sharing of financial data with all employees. This was accompanied by investing in developing skills at all levels of the workforce to drive improved results and the development of a formal program to share the financial benefits with all employees.A year later they were performing well beyond their expectations in all areas.
