Operational Excellence with Lean Six Sigma for Financials

Dit programma is in nauwe samenwerking met onze opleidingspartner NBA Opleidingen

 

Managing and controlling a business involves identifying, analyzing and developing data-based improvement opportunities in processes and the organization. Controllers and other financials need professional skills in data-driven problem analysis, problem solving and decision taking. As a generic structure for the process of structured and data-based problem-analysis, we take Lean Six Sigma’s DMAIC (Define / Measure / Analyze / Improve / Control) model, which has become the world standard in business and industry for managing process improvement. The DMAIC approach helps in structuring messy problems and translates them into a quantitative decision problem. The course comprises:

• Introduction to Operational Excellence for the financial professional
• Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control cycle
• Scientific data-driven methods to solve problems sustainably
• Lean thinking
• Examples in financial services
• Introduction of the relation between Lean Six Sigma and adjacent fields (e.g. Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Agile Scrum, etc.)
