The Client
The Challenge
The client’s HR executive team lacked effective processes to ensure consistency in data collection procedures and data accuracy across all locations. Kairos Worldwide was brought in to facilitate a Lean Six Sigma study with a global process improvement project team to restore data integrity to an acceptable level.
Our Methods
Kairos Worldwide applied the OneTeam approach, conducting a targeted assessment and analysis to improve the accuracy of global data management for complete and useable outputs, increase on- time delivery of required data submissions, establish performance metrics and establish a system that drives continuous improvement. Kairos Worldwide conducted root cause analysis, risk assessment, data sampling and process mapping in the launch of the new People Search application, a tool chosen to facilitate greater consistency in the data collection process in 129 countries. This technology implementation was vital in preparation for the upcoming planned divestitures of several operations.
The Impact
Utilizing several of the Lean Six Sigma tools and the effective collaboration of the OneTeam approach, Kairos Worldwide provided the following insights:
- Identified the key points of failure in the global data management processes
- Leveraged Subject Matter Expert knowledge to differentiate between symptoms and causes, identifying the critical root causes and developing high impact solutions
- Provided a post improvement analysis to determine highest on-going risks to data accuracy and completeness
- Reached consensus across the HR departments on the recommended solution, action plan for implementation and the management of high priority risks
