Operations & Continuous Improvement
Improvement Potential Assessment (SIGMA-IPA)
Assess an operational question and the available evidence before defining an improvement project. Findings distinguish supported opportunities from assumptions and information gaps.
HOW THIS CAPABILITY FITS
Resolve the business issue before choosing technology.
This service remains available as a defined business assignment. Its findings can support a process or workflow improvement, but AI is only considered where the task, evidence and review controls justify it.
