Dear Lean, Six Sigma and Process Improvement Colleague,

 

WCBF have been leading the way with the biggest and best Lean, Six Sigma and Process Excellence Summits for the last 8 years.  I am writing to give you advance notice of our latest event, the 9th Annual Lean, Six Sigma and Process Excellence in Healthcare Summit which takes place in New Orleans on 11-14 May 2010.  This will be the biggest and the best Summit ever for Lean, Six Sigma and Process Improvement professionals in the healthcare industry.

 

Five reasons why this is an event not to be missed:

·         16 tracks of powerful case study presentations and topical breakdowns according to your interest, with 4 different tracks running simultaneously in the tracked session

·         Over 50 speakers covering a wide range of topics for beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners, with no repeat speakers from previous events

·         Plenty of opportunity for networking, including 'speed-dating' and 'communities of interest'

·         9 powerful practical pre-summit workshops that get to the nitty-gritty of tools and methodologies

·         Covering Lean, Six Sigma and Process Excellence methodologies, exclusively catering for the needs of healthcare

 

Wherever you are on your Lean, Six Sigma and Process Improvement journey, this is the Summit for you.  The unique Summit agenda and workshops have been developed through extensive research with your peers to meet your needs.

 

'I only use Lean in my organization.  Will there be enough content for me?'

Yes, there is plenty of content just on Lean, with an entire track dedicated to it.  So if you are only interested in Lean, no problem.

 

'I am a beginner.  Will the content be too sophisticated for me?'

No, the event has been put together to meet the needs of all levels of practitioners, including potential users, new users and sophisticated users.

 

'I don't want any sales pitches.'

No problem, we only recruit practitioner speakers for the main Summit and strictly control content to prevent sales pitches.

 

Attend this event and benefit from:

·         An agenda tailored for POTENTIAL USERS, NEW USERS AND SOPHISTICATED USERS to ensure that your level of knowledge and experience is catered for

·         High level expert speakers from a wide variety of HOSPITALS and HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS

·         Presentations that focus on the issues you want to hear about to help you align Six Sigma and Lean with your organization's strategic objectives

·         PROJECT ORIENTATED case studies that give a step-by-step guide to how success is achieved and how challenges can  be overcome

·         INTEGRATING Six Sigma, Lean and other methodologies from your performance improvement toolkit

 

Places are strictly limited and all those involved in Lean, Six Sigma, Quality and Process Improvement are encouraged to reserve their places early.
