Training away from a live problem fades. Training on one sticks.
Lean Six Sigma consulting
Lean Six Sigma consultant for UK organisations
You know Lean Six Sigma can work. You may also have seen it fail: training that faded, a project that saved money on paper and nowhere else, a consultant who left and took the improvement with them. The difference is rarely the tools. It is whether the project runs on a real problem, with the people who own it, and whether anyone keeps the gain.
Chapter 1
If you have tried it before
A saving is counted against a baseline agreed at the start, or it is a story.
The last chapter of the work is handing it over, not writing it up.
A chart earns its place when it tells you whether to act or leave it alone.
Chapter 2
What you get
Not belts for the wall. Results on the floor.
Not a toolkit. A problem, solved.
Not one method forced on every job. Improve the process you have, or design the one you need.
The final chapter makes the new way the standard, measures it against the baseline, and builds the capability to keep improving.
Yellow, Green and Black Belt, taught on a real project, so your people deliver a result on the way to the certificate.
Control charts and the right test, so you can tell a real change from a lucky month.
Vincent Chido King runs the work himself, from the first walk of the process to the last review.
Chapter 3
How it works: the Chido method
Every engagement runs through the same five chapters. Each one ends with something you can see before the next one starts.
01
Dream It
Walk the process as it really runs, find the pain people have stopped mentioning, and agree the problem and the future you want.
02 Evaluate ItMeasure the gaps, put a cost on the delay and the rework, and rank what to fix by impact, not by who is loudest.
03 Learn ItDesign the fix with the people who will run it, and test it small before you commit money and reputation.
04 Build ItPut it in: processes, systems and people lined up from day one. Technology only where it serves the work.
05 Scale ItMake the new way the standard, measure it against where you started, and leave your people able to keep improving.
Chapter 4
The tools, explained in the open
Nothing here is secret. The method, the belts and the charts are all set out on this site, so you can judge the work before you hire it.
Chapter 5
Worked examples
Two worked examples are published in full, with their problems stated before any method is chosen.
A worked example I published
Meridian Hospital Group
A constructed hospital group, set out problem by problem, with every solution graded rather than sold.
A worked example I published Kestrel PathwaysA constructed employment services provider paid by results, and what its targets do to the people who deliver them.
Chapter 6
Not sure it is a Lean Six Sigma problem?
Then start with the process, not the method. If the trouble is somewhere else, I will tell you.
Chapter 7
Where to start
Start with one process. If it is the right fit, the rest follows from the result.
