Don’t hire a full-time consultant and pay benefits, totaling over $100K per year per person!

Our network of consultants with numerous years of experience allows us to quickly figure out what you and your business or organization needs. We save you time by doing all the research, and staying on top of new trends. We are reading the latest books, listening to podcasts, reading articles and attending conferences. Based on our experiences, we have developed numerous templates, tools and training materials.

We can share our decades of experience, knowledge and materials with you, saving you hours of time and money! This is true even if we don’t include all the improvement events and projects we will be helping you implement.

After assessing your situation, we coach and mentor for your specific situation and industry, since YOU are ultimately in charge of the improvement program, not us!

The book, “The Toyota Way Fieldbook” suggests to the reader that they “go find a sensei (coach) to learn from and enjoy the journey!”

Let BPI be your “sensei” on your continuous improvement journey! Check out our rates and pricing below

Finally, we have a specific skill set around Lean Six Sigma and Sustainability that it difficult to find anywhere else. You might find other consulting firms that can teach the tools and coach you through an implementation, but will they adequately incorporate the people and planet into the program? We don’t believe companies will be successful in the long term if they are only focused on profits.

In fact, the more we work behind the scenes, the more successful your organization will be with adopting process improvement.

We know what is effective, and what should be avoided, so you can take advantage of our experience to save you time and effort, so your deployment drives the most improvements with the least amount of investment and struggle.

Process improvement does not have to be a million dollar investment. We can “lean” out your improvement initiative!

However, if you’d prefer that we do most of the work, we can handle that as well. We’ll provide a plan that is effective, targeted, and sustainable. We can also help you interview and hire the right resources when you are ready for your own full-time support.

With consulting services starting at one hour per week, why pay for multiple full-time employees when you might not need them?


GETTING STARTED

Most organizations would like to exceed the needs of the customers and stakeholders. To accomplish that, you need empowered employees to leverage the entire workforce. They need to be able to solve problems in their work area by learning from mistakes in a psychologically-safe work environment through experimentation.

We discuss this approach in our Lean Six Sigma Starter Kit, but let’s simplify it to the basics on this page.

This organizational change requires three key elements:

  1. Switch from authoritative leadership to servant leadership. Instead of telling workers how to solve problems, the leaders coach them on problem solving without giving them the answers. This is more respectful to the worker, which helps empower them. It also frees up the leader to solve bigger challenges and do more coaching. You will learn about improvement and coaching kata, leader standard work, gemba walks (go and see). This can be implemented using the Silver package below for 3 months.

  2. Workers need to learn how to see waste and improvement opportunities and resolve them. This can be done with a 2-hour Lean Intro course plus one improvement project per worker. Cost is $500 conducted virtually per class. As they advance in their problem solving, we can introduce them to more Lean and Six Sigma tools through virtual/classroom training and certification programs. If you’d like to have us manage an improvement project for you (with your team’s involvement), sign up for the Gold package for 4 months. If you’d like to have us facilitate a kaizen event for rapid improvement, consider a 2-day event or 5-day event below.

  3. The process needs to be able to identify problems quickly. This can be accomplished by visualizing the work and creating a team-led daily huddle to review progress against key metrics after each day. This can be implemented using the Silver package below for 3 months.
