Six Sigma is fairly new to the financial services sector, but the methodology’s many successes and challenges in the industry will be the focus of an upcoming conference. The Strategic Research Institute is hosting the second-annual Six Sigma Strategy for Financial Services conference, which will be held Feb. 24–25 at the New York Marriott East Side Hotel, in New York City. The conference will be presented in a round-table format to foster candid discussions.

Topics to be discussed include: proactively managing the evolution of your Six Sigma programs; maximizing quality return on investment through enhanced project selection criteria; capitalizing on synergies between lean and Six Sigma; enhancing Six Sigma performance through customization; data management, and data control case studies and best practices; and instituting effective cultural change across organizations.
