Our Value-add as Retained and Contingent Executive Recruiters in Lean & Six Sigma

With our Lean & Six Sigma approach, experience and global perspective, we stand out from other executive search firms and add significant value for our clients in their search for leadership talent.

Our Lean & Six Sigma Approach:                               Search excellence starts with the sound foundation of a well defined and consistent search methodology. Our process incorporates a unique Lean & Six Sigma approach to filling our clients’ staffing needs. Each phase of our process is designed to move the search process along efficiently and effectively, thus enabling us to exceed our clients’ expectations and requirements.

Our Experience:                                                              With our team’s decades of Lean & Six Sigma operations experience, we are uniquely qualified to help our clients find, assess and recruit leadership talent. Our key principals have held senior-level director, VP and Six Sigma positions in manufacturing, distribution and service-based Fortune 500 companies. Our principals are Six Sigma Master Black Belt and Lean trained by globally recognized industry leading companies and have real-world, practical experience in their application. We speak the language of our clients and candidates.

Our Global Perspective:                                                Our key principals have managed global operations and led key Lean & Six Sigma initiatives in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Latin America and throughout Asia. Our principals, with their global perspective, understand what it takes to find, assess and recruit talent for companies to succeed in today’s global economy.

How Critical is the Right Continuous Improvement Talent?                                               According to a leading business magazine study, only 2% of plants have reached world-class manufacturing performance, with an additional 23% making significant progress toward this enviable status. The common theme found among these superior operations was a fully implemented and effective continuous improvement methodology.

Of the plants that have made little or no progress toward world-class performance, 53% reported having some level of continuous improvement effort already in place. The study very pointedly suggests that these improvement efforts might be suffering from half-hearted and unfocused efforts or worse yet, disinterested or incompetent leadership.

The overall findings of this study point to the fact that most operations could dramatically improve their performance by having the right leadership talent in place. Our focus is to help our clients find the right talent to maximize their continuous improvement / operational excellence efforts and help them achieve world-class performance.
