• Do you have all the right tools, but still find yourself wasting time firefighting?
• Are your metrics leading to the wrong behaviours?
• Does your organisation tell stories when reporting your company metrics?
• Are you tired of spending endless amounts of energy working on tasks not in alignment with the needs of the business?
• In short, do you encounter frustrations in enterprise improvement?

If you have answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, our seminar (1-day event without facilitated exercises) or workshop (2-day event with facilitated exercises) is for YOU!

The increasing competitive pressures of a global economy are forcing executives to react faster to changing business conditions and customer requirements, under conditions of stringent cost containment. Line managers and decision-makers need to have an efficient and effective system for day-to-day business operation with access to performance metrics that lead to the most appropriate and cost effective activities. In short, what’s needed is an enterprise level performance measurement and improvement system to drive financial and operational success under the most challenging conditions.

The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) system is set of management techniques that when effectively implemented improve an organisation’s measurement and improvement system so that there is an increase in predictable and sustainable bottom-line benefits. The IEE system embeds a set of best practices derived from the strengths of past systems—applying structured metrics and a no nonsense roadmap to initiate process improvement and achieve substantial benefits. IEE takes Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard to the next level in the pursuit of enterprise excellence.

“IEE represents the best of best practices in measurement and improvement. It transcends Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard. It’s a powerful business system that blends analytics with innovation and arms everyone in the organisation with the tools needed to contribute to success. Aptly named, it truly integrates enterprise excellence.” - Mike Jones, Past President, ASQ

“The training session conducted by Smarter Solutions is organisation-wide focused. Typical Six Sigma training (which I had undergone with other service providers) focus on individual projects which sometimes leads to sub-optimising the efforts and may even lead to unhealthy practices. At Smarter Solutions, Integrated Enterprise Excellence focus is aligning the strategic vision and objectives with tactical activities through Six Sigma and lean projects. A key take away for me is the anchoring of sustainable long-term benefits for the organisation.

I enjoyed the delivery of training ~ which was simple great for adult learning. Practical approach on the tools kept us engaged and enabled us to absorb more during training.
I would strongly recommend this training for both manufacturing and transactional areas.” – AK Sekar, Process Improvement Manager, Asia
