Not if you work at eflexgroup.com! Join me as I interview Jeff Cox, the company's Lean Six Sigma Facilitator regarding eflesgroup.com's atypical transformation. Our discussion will focus on the initial project at the company - how to reduce claims cycletime. We will track how a company, founded on excellent customer service and fast response, became a victim of their own success and lost some of their customer focus, and how they have come back larger and, from a customer's perspective, better than ever. This is a "must listen to" for any small organization post-startup that needs immediate results, for change agents that need a different perspective, and for current practitioners that might be working in an environment that is overly enamored with making it perfect versus getting it done. 00:45:00GR8changenoLean Six Sigma,Call center,Launching a change initiative,The importance of management buyin,Achieving rapid breakthrough successTo launch a Lean Six Sigma transformation, you need to select and train Green Belts and Black Belts, launch some training projects, and, sometime down the roadhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gr8change/2010/01/16/podcast-from-the-palisade-users-conference-interview-with-randy-heffernenBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gr8change/2010/01/16/podcast-from-the-palisade-users-conference-interview-with-randy-heffernen/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gr8change/2010/01/16/podcast-from-the-palisade-users-conference-interview-with-randy-heffernenSat, 16 Jan 2010 05:12:53 GMTPodcast from the Palisade User's Conference: Interview with Randy HeffernenAt the 2009 Palisade user's Conference, I had a chance to catch up with Randy Heffernen, the Vice President of Palisade Corporation.
