Good Lean Six Sigma Projects Start with Good Problem StatementsSeptember 24, 2025 •3:00 PM UTC
Behind every successful Lean Six Sigma project is a clearly defined problem that matters to the business. Too often, projects start with vague goals like “improve efficiency” or “reduce defects” without considering whether they tie back to what the organization is really trying to achieve.
A strong problem statement defines what is wrong, connects the dots between the problem and the people it impacts, and links directly to the organization’s strategic priorities. When your projects align with business goals from the start, they are more likely to gain support, deliver measurable results, and drive lasting change.
This webinar will guide participants through how to craft strong project statements that form the foundation for selecting projects that matter and solving the right problems in the right way. Beyond the problem statement, we’ll highlight the characteristics of projects that succeed.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Write strong, actionable problem statements
- Select projects that align with business priorities
- Avoid common traps that derail projects
- Build a foundation for projects that deliver measurable results
