Project Based Consultative solutions

Project-Based Business Solutions That Drive Results

When your business faces a high-impact challenge or opportunity, Stage 5 delivers the leadership, structure, and execution to make real progress—fast. 

Our project-based solutions are built to tackle urgent priorities across functions like strategy, operations, sales, finance, talent, and M&A.

We follow a proven five-stage process to ensure clarity, alignment, and measurable results—every time.

How We Deliver:

• Stage 1: Define & Align: We engage senior leaders—executives, sponsors, owners, or board members—to identify core pain points and align on key objectives.
• Stage 2: Immerse & Scope: We immerse in your team, site, or unit to gain insight and collaborate on a clear, focused scope to meet your goals.
• Stage 3: Roadmap & Action Plan: We build a scope of work outlining teams, initiatives, and deliverables, along with how progress will be measured and managed.
• Stage 4: Launch & Deploy: With full stakeholder approval, we launch—activating tools, tracking systems, and communication plans to ensure a smooth rollout.
• Stage 5: Measure, Learn & Optimize: KPIs are made visible, and teams meet regularly to review, adapt, and improve—ensuring momentum and meaningful results.

Lean & Six Sigma Deployments That Deliver Efficiency—and Culture Shift

Stage 5 helps organizations deploy Lean and Six Sigma not just as tools, but as transformation systems that reduce waste, improve flow, and build a culture of continuous improvement. 

Our structured five-stage approach drives measurable gains in quality, delivery, productivity, and cost—while engaging employees at every level in the process of change.

Whether you're launching your first Lean deployment or reinvigorating a stalled initiative, we bring the structure, leadership, and frontline alignment to deliver lasting results.

Our Lean + Six Sigma Deployment Process:

• Stage 1: Define Value: Value is what the customer is willing to pay for. Everything else must support that or be considered waste—targeted for reduction or removal.
• Stage 2: Map the Value Stream: Visualize the steps that create customer value. This reveals inefficiencies, enabling analysis and targeted improvements.
• Stage 3: Create Flow: Streamline the process by removing steps, reallocating resources, improving layout, and enhancing skills or automation to reduce waste.
• Stage 4: Implement Pull: Switch from push to pull. Align production with demand to reduce inventory, work-in-progress, and total lead time.
• Stage 5: Pursue Perfection (Kaizen): Foster a culture of continuous improvement, where all employees regularly refine processes and solve problems to raise performance.
