Client: “What results are typical? What benefits should I expect?”
Consultant: “It depends on…”
Typical results for your business depends on a few things.
There are many books that share rules of thumbs such as saving $200,000 per project or $1,000,000 per full time Black Belt per year or 2-3% of annual revenue each year.
These figures are only averages (and the average rarely happens). RCI Consulting has helped companies that realized 5:1 (low) to 20:1 (high) return on investment from investing in process improvement. The real world is full of variation and your benefits will depend on several things.
- What is your industry? (value per project)
- How large is your company (people, revenue, complexity)?
- How much opportunity is there to improve? (number of project)
- How engaged will leadership be? (quality of projects and people)
- Will you have full time process improvement experts? (dedication)
We work with your leadership to maximize results, using tools such as deployment design, kaizen events, project identification workshops and ongoing program management.
