"Get results in half the time." This is the vision of RCI Consulting.We do this by engaging the leadership team first, to focus on executing strategy and avoiding projects that will die slowly on the vine due to lack of resources. In our experience, this is a primary failure mode of process improvement teams that can be eliminated up front.The strength of our training program is our instructor / coaching team. Our core curriculum includes traditional Sponsor, Green Belt, Kaizen Leader, Black Belt and Master Black Belt training. Class time is 25% to 50% hand-on, using simulations and exercises to learn the tools as well as working on student's projects in class. All project charters are reviewed and approved by the instructors prior to class.Our trainers are certified Master Black Belts, and will coach your project leaders through successful completion of their projects in about half the time as traditional approaches, which gets results faster. Coaching is normally a combination of on-site and remote support (using screen sharing and video chat technology).In some cases our teams directly run improvement projects, from a simple Kaizen event to a traditional lean six sigma project to providing an entire case team for global assessments. This usually makes sense when an issue is urgent and benefits from outside resources, or to pilot the use of continuous improvement as a "proof of concept".
