Whether a client’s Six Sigma Business Performance Improvement program is just getting started or has been up and running for some time, QPM provides Six Sigma project management expertise for any process improvement initiative. This is a valuable alternative in which QPM’s experienced project managers lead improvement team projects. Due to the time requirements in training internal personnel, the learning curve for general project management skills, and understanding the principles of Six Sigma Business Performance Improvement, we can supply experienced project managers to lead improvement teams, thus accelerating the learning and acceptance of the program. In addition, this is a valuable training technique, since project team members will be led by an experienced practitioner who can teach the principles as well as drive completion of project deliverables.

QPM utilizes a proven, hands-on approach to Six Sigma Project Management. Our project managers emphasize the importance of not only project leadership, but more importantly, teaching the tools and application of Six Sigma Business Performance Improvement to the organization. Our experience has shown that all too often, projects are led and milestones completed without adequate learning of the methodology by the organization’s personnel.

Our Six Sigma project managers have significant experience leading and coaching projects in all areas of organizations. We manage projects using tested performance improvement tools and techniques that focus on meeting established deadlines and driving significant returns for the organization.

Our experienced Six Sigma project managers:

• Provide hands-on or “just-in-time” training to all team members on key concepts and tools once the project is initiated.  This training is provided throughout the duration of the project.
• Apply Six Sigma Business Performance Improvement tools and techniques, facilitating meetings and working with team members to complete objectives and milestones for each phase of the initiative, as well as design communication techniques that will be used for senior leadership and project stakeholders.
• Provide regular updates to senior leadership on progress of the initiative, barriers to success, and upcoming tasks and milestones. 
• Work with the project team to document the project outcomes for final distribution and presentation to the organization.

QPM’s goal is to teach the tools and techniques of effective project management to the client, so ownership of business performance improvement becomes a part of the every day mindset and activities of their organization.
