Six Sigma Consultancies: Do they add any value?

Enquiring about any subject matter often arises from curiosity and/or news that "the Jones's" have started something that brings with it certain benefits you'd be foolish to miss, a smoother ride, more economic mileage in the shape of a new motor, or quite simply that it turns heads! Learning of the cost saving benefits of successful Six Sigma deployment, you'd be none too shocked to learn that many firms go weak at the knee's at the news of the millions being saved annually in time and monetary terms and in their misguided giddiness they can easily be taken for a very expensive ride by instigating the help of the wrong consultancy.

With Six Sigma and change management per se it is important a company has an end goal, an aim and clarity in the reason they have initiated a change program in the first place. Keeping up with the Jones's is simply not enough of a reason for kick starting a change program. Change won't necessarily happen overnight, whilst quick fixes in the shape of kaizen blitz events may appear to be of immediate benefit, it is sustainable change that any decent six sigma consultancy should be guiding you towards. If you are left taking your first few steps alone it is all too easy to fall on your face and end up crawling whilst never truly learning to walk or run. Six Sigma Consultancies are often the first port of call for any company thinking of starting it's journey on the road to change.

Impartial help is on hand and speaking to a six sigma recruitment firm with experience of assisting in building an array of highly successful deployments is one port of call we would be happy to assist with. Success built through the application of the right people and personalities.
