Celerant recently sponsored the IQPC Six Sigma Summit, which took place at the Queen Elizabeth 11 Conference Centre in Westminster. The event was a success for Celerant on a number of fronts. Over 270 delegates attended the eighth annual summit which began on Tuesday 17th April and ended Thursday 19th April. The event comprised of a series of workshops and talks, along with an exhibition area where Celerant had a stand. Celerant had a strong presence throughout the summit. On day one Jeff Patton and Mike Atkinson conducted a workshop, titled ‘Dream big, and deliver big, with a results driven programme’. The workshop was well received with 12 delegates attending. On day two Christopher Juul chaired the conference and Paul Donnellan did a joint presentation with our Reuters client Phil Cole titled ‘Driving Customer Satisfaction & Growth: Using a Six Sigma Programme to Improve Data Quality’. This presentation was one of the highlights of the conference and Phil Cole was extremely complimentary about Celerant, and the work we have done for Reuters. Later in the day, in one of the tracked sessions, Tony Tarquini and Paul Donnellan presented ‘From Laggards to Leaders – Moving Six Sigma to the next level’. This presentation focussed on Six Sigma in the Financial Services sector. This was also well attended with 25 delegates. The feedback was very positive.
