Risks in an organization are not always a bad thing and not all risks are harmful. Many times, a risk can bring forth opportunities to exam the ways in which the organization is functioning and put corrective measures into place for any high-risk practices. These measures can be understood as novel approaches to sustainability as well as scalability.

When we look at a S.W.O.T. analysis, the dissection works to identify the areas of improvement that can take place to enhance the product or service of an organization. In a service delivery organization, it is vital that Gemba walk throughs are taken to fully ascertain risks. There needs to be some understanding on what the root cause is and how best to mitigate matters that pose a threat to the organization. In keeping lean analytical tactics simple, the question becomes is it an incorrect process in place, does an employee need additional training and or are there limited capabilities in the current system?

This presentation will explain:

• The basic importance of DMAIC in order to deploy robust operations, create sustainability and increase opportunities for revenue.
• How these guidelines when applied with LSS analytics will save an organization time, resources, and finances (reducing muda).
• The pros and cons of when such methodologies are not carried out.
• The importance of enforcing compliance standards as a workplace culture.
• The implementation of continuous improvement projects/nonconformance.

When leadership who are agile and invested in the growth of the organization analyze these elements, organizational change will evolve. The outcomes can be pivotal in the branding of the organization, longevity, and employee morale. At the end of the day, the health and human services industry is designed to enhance the well-being of individuals, primarily those in underrepresented and underserved populations. To maximize the mission, such collaborative means are imperative to the service delivery.
