Enterprise-wide project tracking software, E-Learning, process modeling tools, etc. are the alluring “bells and whistles” associated with Lean Six Sigma Deployment. These tools are often touted as the difference makers in “bake-off” presentations between Six Sigma consulting firms. Yet, experience shows that software is one of the biggest sources of needless expenditure of time and money, particularly in the early deployment stage.

Leap Technologies Rapid Lean Six Sigma Methodology is specifically designed to be "low-tech, hi-touch" for at least the first 18 months of deployment. Real enthusiasm, real ownership and real results come from broad participation in improvement projects. Our packaged toolkits make that possible with minimal classroom training for team members and a defined commitment over 60 to 90 days that allows employess to get into the Lean Six Sigma game and still do their "day job".

Why not get employees and managers engaged in a project that delivers results versus sitting at the computer “learning” about Lean Six Sigma?

At the right time, software can certainly accelerate results. We have partnered with leading technology enablers for Lean Six Sigma Deployment who provide a flexible and scalable approach for integrating technology into your deployment just-in-time.
