Lean Six Sigma & Operational Excellence Consulting
DeFranco Performance Solutions provides expert Lean Six Sigma and Operational Excellence consulting through high-impact virtual workshops. Led by a Master Black Belt and Navy veteran, DPS helps small to medium-sized businesses build internal competency, eliminate waste, and create prioritized project portfolios that deliver measurable results.
An Improvement Portfolio is a prioritized collection of process improvement projects delivering measurable, often six-figure returns for enterprise organizations.
To achieve this, large firms either
Hire a team of continuous improvement experts at $150,000+ salary per role.
Hire a team of consultants to travel on-site for a $75,000 engagement with ongoing retainer fees.
For most small to medium size business owners, these barriers make world-class improvement inaccessible.
DPS WORKSHOPS CHANGE THAT
For a fraction of the traditional price, you can build continuous improvement and operational excellence competency internally without hiring full-time help or long-term engagements.
