Why Six Sigma for Growth?

All businesses want to grow but what differentiates the real winners is the ability to continue to grow successfully year after year. We can help you achieve that by creating a sustainable growth culture and process in your organization by using Six Sigma for growth.

Many successful Multinationals are using Six Sigma in their Sales and Marketing functions to implement proven approaches that overcome barriers and lead to sustainable business growth. We have taken the key learnings from these programmes and are now able to offer an individually adapted programme for your organisation.

We can show you a proven way to FIND, WIN and KEEP customers while improving the efficiency of your Sales and Marketing process so growth becomes just that much easier.

Six Sigma for Growth focuses on the three key areas of strategy, tactics and operational excellence within the Sales and Marketing function.

Having a good strategy, tactics and sales process are not enough you also need to make sure you have a seamless connection between them. From Management team through Marketing into Sales and on to the Customer.

More importantly the process needs to work the other way round and start at the Customer, only then do you really start to understand the customer’s needs and start delivering true customer value.

Let us show you how to achieve this. Six Sigma works! Let us show you how to make it work in Sales and marketing!

We have three programmes to help you achieve this:-

Strategy – Aimed at the Management team.

Tactics – Aimed at Growth Champions.

Operational excellence – Aimed at Growth Leaders

Customer Feedback

A very useful course, lively delivery! I wish all training courses were like this!

The course is brilliant and I am really pleased with the skills that I have learnt and cannot wait to develop them further.

SigmaPro have worked with our organisation since day one of the implementation of Six Sigma. The entire staff have been exceptional in assessing our corporate needs, providing state of the art training balanced with real world experiences, all while making sure that a clear roadmap for success is laid out before us to follow. I highly recommend the services provided by SigmaPro. They are second to none.

The knowledge that I have gained will be very useful, thank you for an outstanding course.

The course was both insightful and challenging and provoked a lot of thought around the tools of Six Sigma. The syllabus and mathematical content proved to be very helpful in understanding the rationale behind the various advanced methods of data analysis.

SigmaPro have helped us develop a high level understanding of Manufacturing Excellence. They have worked in close cooperation with us to support our culture change. We have been very satisfied with the support and training given across all levels of the Global Organisation and the high return on investment achieved.

SigmaPro's Master Black Belt Course was exactly what I needed. [...] most technically demanding course I found in my search for a MBB curriculum and the materials focus intensely on the statistical analysis foundations of the Lean Six Sigma discipline. My goal in attending MBB training was to go to the next level of understanding [...] and SigmaPro exceeded all my expectations!

Thanks again for all your help. The training went really well, great tutor also all our candidates commented on how well the training was presented and managed.

The tutor was extremely professional and adapted to specific requirements of the class, excellent facilitator. Overall an excellent course.

SigmaPro has partnered Apex over several years with a great deal of success. With the help of SigmaPro consultants we have been able to achieve measurable benefits and develop a systematic approach to business improvement.

I have been fortunate enough to participate in SigmaPro's Black Belt and Master Black Belt training courses. The instruction and materials are outstanding. SigmaPro consultants go the extra mile to assist you in your quest to understand the material and its applications. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone interested in developing an understanding of the Six Sigma methodology.

There was a lot of useful information delivered in quite a short time. I particularly enjoyed the chance to ask further questions and approach the tutor directly after the course.
