Value Optimization Services

Motorola – the inventors of Six Sigma – saved $16 billion dollars from their performance improvement program between 1986 and 2001; 4.5% of their total revenue. GE – one of Six Sigma's keenest advocates – saved $4.4 billion in four years between 1996 and 1999.

Some people get it right. But it isn't always that way.

Performance improvement initiatives – whether under the banner of Six Sigma, Lean or any other methodology – are fragile. Not all of them survive. Not all of them realize their potential. Those that are successful go through a journey – from pilot, through scaling and internalization phases to – finally – full maturity. In each phase, success is defined by a different measure and failure is threatened by a different set of common pitfalls.

As part of our ongoing Research Program, i-nexus sponsored a piece of MBA research that focused on the practices of companies making striking returns from their performance improvement investment. Our Research Program continues to focus on the the uncommon practices seen in successful deployments. Through our Value Optimization Services you have the opportunity to draw on our findings, gaining valuable insights and practical tactics to help you deliver exceptional results.

Deployment Healthcheck

Performance improvement leaders need access to ideas and emerging practices from outside their own organizations to understand whether their own programs are delivering the maximum potential. Our extensive research program has given us unprecedented insights into the characteristics and practices of successful deployments. The Performance Workshop opens this knowledge database to companies outside our client base, enabling you to:

-    "health check" your deployment against our research findings;
-    identify opportunities and devise tactics for success;
-    drive better results from your investment in performance improvement.

i-nexus offers clients a series of Account Optimization services which focus on using i-nexus' full capability to drive even greater ROI from their programs. Our research shows that concentrating on the following five key areas can dramatically increase ROI:
