Why Lean Six Sigma for Meeting and Event Professionals? Organizations, both public and private, need to work faster, reduce costs, and maintain high standards of consistency and quality. Our industry uses the Strategic Meeting Management Program (SMMP) as a way to try achieve these goals. Trying to justify an SMMP to management can be difficult and often times futile because the C-Suite does not understand what meeting planners do. By investing the time to learn about LSSMP, you will be able to use process management terminology that the C-Suite understands and begin the journey of becoming a change agent in your organization and beyond. Our goal with this new educational initiative is to promote the use of Lean and Six Sigma concepts to help you manage the many aspects of your meetings and to focus on process, procedures and reducing waste.
