Consultancy Packages FAQs

  • What does a Lean Six Sigma consultancy actually do?

    A Lean Six Sigma consultancy helps you improve performance by removing waste (Lean) and reducing variation/defects (Six Sigma). In practice, that means we work with your team to understand the current process, measure what matters, fix the root causes, and then put controls in place so improvements stick. 


    At VA Innovation we focus on practical delivery, measurable outcomes, and building capability so your team can sustain results.

  • Which consultancy package is right for my business?

    It depends on your goals and how quickly you need results. If you want ongoing momentum without lots of onsite days, Virtual Support works well. 


    If you need fast clarity and a roadmap, the Onsite Assessment & Action Plan is a great starting point. 


    If you want to build skills while delivering outcomes, Onsite Upskilling is ideal. And if you’re a Private Equity portfolio company, we can help set up the operating cadence and deliver improvements at pace. 


    If you’re unsure, the quickest route is a short call via Contact

  • Do you work with SMEs as well as larger organisations?

    Yes. Many of our packages are designed to be practical for SMEs, where time and resources are limited and you need improvements that make a real difference quickly. 


    We focus on simple, repeatable routines (like daily management) and targeted improvement work that fits around day-to-day operations. 


    If you’re an SME, you may also find our UK location pages helpful: Lean Six Sigma UK Locations

  • How quickly will we see results?

    You can often see progress within weeks if the scope is clear and your team can access the process and data. In many cases, early wins come from stabilising the day-to-day (visual KPIs, action management, clearer handovers) and removing obvious bottlenecks. 


    Sustainable results usually come from combining implementation with capability building, so improvements don’t slide back after the first push.

  • What results should we expect from a 90-day improvement sprint?

    In 90 days, a well-scoped programme should deliver measurable movement in priority metrics (for example lead time, on-time delivery, quality, rework, or productivity) and a working management cadence so you can sustain and scale. 


    The exact outcomes depend on your starting point, the process complexity, and leadership support, but the goal is always practical improvement plus a repeatable method your team can run.

  • What’s included in the onsite assessment and action plan?

    Our onsite assessment is designed to give you clarity quickly. Typically, it includes process observation (often at gemba), a review of current performance measures, a structured view of bottlenecks and root causes, and a prioritised improvement plan. 


    You should walk away with a clear set of recommended actions, what success looks like, and a realistic roadmap for the next 30/60/90 days.

  • How do you ensure improvements actually stick?

    This is where many programmes fail—so we build sustainment in from day one. That usually means standard work, clear ownership, visible KPIs, and a regular action review cadence (often called daily management or a daily accountability system). 


    We also coach leaders and teams so the routines continue after we step away. If you’d like background reading, see What is Lean Six Sigma? and Lean Six Sigma FAQs

  • Is this consulting, coaching, training, or all three?

    Our packages can include a blend, depending on what you need. 


    • Consulting focuses on delivering outcomes with your team.
    • Coaching builds internal capability and leadership routines so results sustain and scale.
    • Training builds knowledge of tools and methods. 

    Many clients get the best results from a blended approach, training plus coached delivery, because it improves performance while building confidence and capability in-house.


    You can explore training options here: Lean Six Sigma Training & Certification

  • Do you offer onsite and virtual support?

    Yes. We support clients virtually (ideal for regular coaching, governance, and project support) and onsite (ideal for assessments, workshops, and hands-on implementation). 


    Many organisations choose a hybrid approach: onsite time to diagnose and launch improvements, then virtual support to keep momentum and embed sustainment routines.

  • What industries do you specialise in?

    We work across a range of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, construction, aerospace, financial services, medical devices, FMCG, and private equity portfolio companies. 


    The common thread is improving performance through better flow, better quality, and better management routines. 


    You can see examples by sector here: Industry Case Studies

  • How much does Six Sigma consulting cost?

    Costs vary depending on scope, urgency, number of sites/teams, and how much hands-on implementation you want. Most clients choose one of three models:

    • Fixed package (clear deliverables, clear timeline)
    • Monthly retainer (ongoing coaching/governance)
    • Sprint-based delivery (e.g., 30/60/90-day plan)
