Unique Continuous Improvement Approach Maximizes Lean, Six Sigma and Other Methods to Deliver Real, Measurable Results.<\/h4>\n

PRINCETON, NJ \u2013 June 24, 2014 \u2013 Kepner-Tregoe (KT), the global capability development and consulting company, officially introduced the firm\u2019s unique approach to operational improvement and excellence, Targeted Performance Improvement<\/a>.<\/strong> Utilizing traditional Operational Excellence as its foundation, Targeted Performance Improvement leverages the firm\u2019s proprietary KT Clear Thinking processes to optimize continuous improvement and deliver real, measurable results.<\/p>\n

Unlike many Operational Excellence frameworks, Targeted Performance Improvement focuses on identifying the \u201ccritical few\u201d issues within an organization and outlining the most efficient path to resolution. Targeted Performance Improvement avoids prescribing massive business reengineering and large-scale technology implementations and instead opts for a precise and collaborative approach to address clients\u2019 most pressing needs, while maximizing existing assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cTargeted Performance Improvement is our unique solution to an issue prevalent inside many organizations: how to generate world class Operational Excellence results without the upheaval of traditional large-scale change programs,\u201d explained KT\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Chris Geraghty. \u201cTargeted Performance Improvement synthesizes a number of highly-effective KT solutions, focused on process, people and partnership that we\u2019ve successfully delivered globally for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further differentiating Targeted Performance Improvement is its ability to enhance existing continuous improvement programs such as Lean and Six Sigma. Kepner-Tregoe\u2019s approach brings an easily integrated implementation component to these important continuous improvement programs, which accelerates return on investment.<\/p>\n

Another key facet of Kepner-Tregoe\u2019s Targeted Performance Improvement is sustainability. With an emphasis on skill-transfer, Targeted Performance Improvement equips organizations to thrive long after KT\u2019s initial engagement. Within each client\u2019s business, KT\u2019s approach ultimately helps build a Thinking Organization<\/a> <\/strong>capable of tackling the most complex challenges.<\/p>\n

Kepner-Tregoe\u2019s Targeted Performance Improvement approach, customized for every engagement, can be implemented across the spectrum of industries.
