Human Factors That Impact LSS Team Improvements

The Lean Six Sigma methodology is well known and is practiced by many organizations around the world. Much of the focus when training Belts to lead, provide technical support to, or participate in LSS teams involves the technical concepts and tools associated with the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control Phases. In real life, however, when teams experience project delays and resistance to proposed solutions, the underlying issues are related more toward human factors associated with change. This presentation will share some considerations on how research regarding American cultural archetypes impacts and can be leveraged to support the LSS process.
