In this short, practical course, you’ll learn how to use Lean Six Sigma’s DMAIC framework—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control—to streamline financial workflows and reduce inefficiency. Through real-world finance examples and hands-on activities, you’ll practice diagnosing root causes, eliminating delays, and sustaining improvements in reporting and control processes. You’ll also apply the SIPOC mapping technique to visualize suppliers, inputs, and outputs, revealing where value is created—or lost—across your workflow. Designed for finance and FP&A professionals, this course gives you a structured, data-driven approach to process improvement that leads to faster cycles, fewer errors, and more confident financial decisions.
