IQPC Day One: Panel Session: Gaining Buy-in |
|

Next, I attended a panel discussion called “Brainstorming Innovative Techniques to Gain Shopfloor to Boardroom Buy-in.” Panel Members were: HT Vassar, Abbot – Ross Products Division They each gave a quick overview of the beginnings of Six Sigma at their respective companies and then shared lessons learned. Merck has a good story I’ll likely share later. The familiar question arose as to which is better, full-time or part-time Six Sigma employees? HT from Abbot answered with conviction – definitely full time! Additional questions were asked about how to communicate quick wins to the organization. Merle at Merck chimed in with the A+ answer. They host Operational Excellence awards, where the senior leaders attend and the projects as well as the teams are recognized. Overall, I felt that the panel participants gave good insights that the audience could take back to their organization.
