Lean Sigma Search™: Control Phase
Process Transition and Monitoring Just as with any successful Lean Six Sigma project, the Control phase of our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process is focused on maintaining the positive results gained from a successfully concluded executive search effort. As a result, our involvement with the chosen candidate and client doesn’t end with the completion of the search process. We believe in helping both parties achieve a smooth transition. We take the time during the first several months to monitor the new employee’s progress and the client’s satisfaction. By identifying potential issues early, we can help drive resolution quickly and ensure satisfaction of both the client and newly hired candidate.
Continuous Process Improvement Because we believe in developing a long-term partnership with our clients, we are focused on the continuous improvement of our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process. At the conclusion of our efforts we seek written feedback from both candidates and the client. This candid feedback helps us to continually upgrade our services and ensure client and candidate satisfaction.
Guaranteed Results We are so confident that our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process will yield a suitable match between candidate and client that we back it with a replacement service guarantee.
The Avery Point Group's Annual Lean & Six Sigma Talent Demand Study
Each year our firm conducts a comprehensive study of the latest talent demand trends for Lean & Six Sigma. As an executive search firm we have a unique vantage point from which to track trends taking place in industry. Trends in industry are often telegraphed into candidate requirements in job postings and can serve as a window into the latest corporate initiatives. For our annual study we take a significant look at Six Sigma and Lean job postings found on the major job boards and review each job title and job content profile to gain a deeper understanding of the latest talent demand trends. This enables our firm to better target our business efforts and serve our Lean & Six Sigma client base.
Over the years of conducting our study we have seen a significant shift in the "center of gravity" as it relates to the prominence of Lean as the rising and now more dominate player in the corporate world of continuous improvement. This is a significant shift from our first study in 2005, where Six Sigma outpaced Lean by more than 50% as the more desired skill set. We fully expect this trend to continue in our future studies as more companies turn to Lean as a hedge against growing economic and inflationary challenges.
