Three engagements. Built around your story arc.

Windy Hill Dojo isn't a staffing firm. We're a Lean Six Sigma consulting practice that happens to specialize in the most vulnerable moment in any transformation — the transition. Pick the tier that matches your situation, or engage all three.

Why three tiers?

Because not every organization is at the same place. Some just need confidence they're hiring the right person. Some need projects kept alive while the seat is empty. And some — the smart ones — want to know exactly what their new executive is walking into before they walk in.

Each tier stands alone. They also stack. The organizations that use all three see the fastest time-to-value from their new LSS leadership.

01
Where to Start

Candidate Evaluation

Find the right leader before you commit.

Most hiring processes for LSS executives rely on certifications and interviews. Neither reliably predicts whether a candidate can build a practice from scratch, lead change in your specific culture, or deliver measurable ROI. We assess candidates against your actual operational context — before you make an offer.

Deliverables

  • Structured competency assessment against your organization's maturity level
  • Interview framework with LSS-specific behavioral and technical questions
  • Candidate scorecard with ratings across strategy, execution, and culture fit
  • Comparative analysis if evaluating multiple finalists
  • Recommendation memo with hire/no-hire rationale
  • Onboarding risk flags and suggested 90-day focus areas

Highest Value Engagement

Readiness Blueprint

Most Valuable

Prepare your organization before your new leader walks in.

The most valuable thing you can do before your new LSS executive arrives is know exactly what they're walking into. Most don't find out for 6–18 months. We compress that learning curve to zero — delivering a complete organizational readiness package before day one so your new leader can be effective immediately.

Deliverables

  • End-to-end process audit across core operational functions
  • Prioritized project portfolio ranked by ROI, feasibility, and strategic alignment
  • Cultural readiness assessment — who is open to change, who will resist, and why
  • Organizational capability baseline — current belt levels, training gaps, tool adoption
  • Quick-wins list — 5–10 projects executable within 90 days
  • Executive playbook with recommended 30/60/90/180-day action plan
  • Stakeholder map with change management recommendations
  • Risk register for transformation initiatives
  • Baseline metrics dashboard (process capability, waste inventory, defect rates)
  • Final readiness briefing — live presentation to leadership team

Ongoing Engagement

Project Execution

Stay engaged. Keep the practice moving.

Once the right leader is in place and the organization is prepared, the work begins. We step in as fractional project resources — executing defined LSS projects, coaching Belt teams, maintaining program momentum, and ensuring your new executive inherits a practice already in motion. Engagements scale to your needs, from a single project to a multi-year partnership.

Deliverables

  • DMAIC and DMADV project scoping and execution
  • Weekly status reporting and stakeholder communication
  • Green Belt and Black Belt team coaching and support
  • Quick-win identification and execution
  • Tollgate reviews and phase gate documentation
  • Knowledge transfer package for incoming executive
  • Project completion reports with documented financial impact
  • Ongoing program management and prioritization support
