Accelerated Processes Work Out Lean Six Sigma
Formula for results
Q x A2 = E
Effective results (E) are equal to the Quality (Q) of the solution times the Acceptance (A) of the idea and Accountability (A) of the implementation.
Accelerated Change Processes
High level focus w/ a Champion (sparkplug)
Gets everyone on the same page
Focuses on the “A” (Acceptance) in QxA2=E
Stimulates dialogue w/ simple tools & defines actions
Makes the change stick
What are you trying to accomplish?
How will you know if you are successful?
What are the changes you think will result in improvement ?

Aim for Process Improvement
How will we know the change is an improvement?
•Develop measures:
•Outcome Measures
•Process Measures
•Measures provide
•Direction
•Learning
•Evaluation
•Balance

What changes can we make that will result in an improvement?
• Idea sources• People who work in the process
• Subject-matter experts and relevant data
• Evidence-based research
• Process benchmarking
• Methods to Generate Ideas• Study and use flow chart to identify complexity, redundancy,
duplication, and non value-added work• Cause & Effect Diagram• Brainstorming
