The Meeting and Event Services department, led by director Debi Scholar, of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwCs) handles 1,000 meetings a year. The preparations, buget, and issues involved in these events can really be daunting. To arrange for these meetings more efficiently, Scholar had the good sense to deploy Six Sigma for meeting policy.
In so doing, the department found out the following:
- the need to reduce the approximately 49 percent of rogue spend
- the need to revise and reinvent the meetings and event resources Web page
- the need to develop a whole communications plan and change management plan
And realized the following savings and benefits:
- a 67 percent increase in the number of meetings channeled through the department
- a 60 percent increase of virtual meetings
- much improved technology
- reduced risk, increased cost savings, and millions of savings
Six Sigma is really the answer to anything that needs a system, improvement, and lots of savings.
