EFFICIENCY. It's not about doing more with less.
It’s about doing the right things and doing them right, the first time, every time.
Legal Lean Sigma Institute Services
Legal Lean Sigma Institute provides expert consulting support and certification courses, workshops, programs, retreats, and presentations designed for legal and business professionals that take you, your organization, and your clients to new levels of excellence.
All of our work is specific to the legal profession. We believe there is no one, right way to start or build on existing process improvement and/or project management efforts. So, whether we are working with a law firm, legal department, service provider, vendor, or legal aid office, each course and every engagement is tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
Legal Lean Sigma® programs are the first to be designed exclusively for the legal profession. You don’t have to spend your time and energy bridging concepts from manufacturing because we have already done so. We use relevant case studies, examples, and success stories from law firms and legal departments. This way, you learn about Six Sigma, Lean, and project management in the context of the processes and projects that are most important to you.

Our Approach to Process Improvement and Project Management
The Legal Lean Sigma Institute has translated and blends PI and PM concepts, frameworks, and tools specifically for the legal profession. We believe that it is the combination of PI and PM that enables us to have excellent processes that are managed well; one without the other only produces an excellent process that isn’t managed well or a project that is managed well but still relies on a broken process. Employed together, they: support unparalleled teamwork and communication, reduce wasteful activities, improve quality, allow us to discover best practices, and increase value.
The Legal Lean Sigma Institute has the experts when it comes PI and PM in law firms and legal departments. We are the recognized leader in this space, offering the first certification courses and owning registered trademarks in both Legal Lean Sigma® and the Legal WorkOut®.
