Will Lean Six Sigma work in Government?

A short introduction by Maria Elena-Stopher, describes lean transformation at the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, and shares lessons learned in Lean applied to federal government processes. Full one-hour video is available for purchase through the Maryland World Class Consortia.

Is this process doable on a national level, a lot of people think so. But where would you start…..

Steven C. Wilson one of the leading Lean Six Sigma trainers in Iowa states, "Lean Six Sigma is not a complex process if you understand the theory behind it. But to begin any journey you need a starting point and a solid base of knowledge to provide direction. Leaders do not need to know the intricacies of DMAIC, DMADV and Variation. Leaders do not need to know when to use Binary Logistic Regression. But they do need to know the basics to enable others.”

Steve has just released his first book, Lean Six Sigma for Government.. The book is available on Amazon in print or CD-Rom format. It can also be downloaded as a PDF on LeanSixSigmaforGovernment.com.

Disclaimer: I work with Steve on a regular basis.
