Vice presidents, directors and managers from leading companies convened at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in St. Louis for the Global Benchmarking Council’s third-quarter conference last month.

“Unleashing Success through Breakthroughs in Lean Sigma and Quality” was attended by hundreds of Six Sigma professionals. They discussed the future of productivity-improvement approaches, lean Six Sigma applications in transactional and new-product applications, and best practices in sharing process-improvement successes and failures in their own companies.

A comprehensive meeting report is available, and includes case studies, roundtable discussion notes, key takeaways and key challenges presented. The next Global Benchmarking Council conference will be held Feb. 26–28 at the Ritz-Carlton, Las Vegas. For more information on the Global Benchmarking Council, visit www3.best-in-class.com/gbc.
