Presentation Transcript

  1. Gary Kapanowski: A True Renaissance Man Since childhood, Gary Kapanowski distinguished himself as one of Michigan’s most well-rounded individuals. Not only did Gary Kapanowski play high school football, but was also the baseball team’s manager and an excellent student. Gary Kapanowski was the first in his family to graduate from a private high school as well as the University of Michigan.

  2. Build Rapport with Team Members Gary Kapanowski understands Lean Six Sigma can be intimidating at first. If your company has several manufacturing errors or experienced negative press in the past, members may eschew new processes because they fear failure. Speak with team members individually. Determine their concerns about the new process and where they might best fit in a Six Sigma configuration. Gary Kapanowski recommends you reassure members you have everyone’s best interest in mind.

  3. Determine Critical Problems The speed at which members move through training will depend on your company’s needs. For example, Gary Kapanowski says, a company weak in technology needs several members prepared for Green Belt training fairly quickly. If company morale is low, it’s not a wise idea to think through Green and Black Belt mentorships until that issue is solved.

  4. Find a Good Mentor Gary Kapanowski credits his success to mentors like Dr. Robert Kaplan. With Kaplan’s help, Kapanowski won the Financial Executive of the Year Award in 2006. Kapanowski encourages Six Sigma employees to locate a dedicated mentor as soon as possible. Most White and Yellow Belts are not used to the technological and consulting duties of Green and Black Belts. Gary Kapanowski believes a mentor makes these processes less intimidating and more exciting. Mentors can also help newly trained employees feel confident in their abilities.
