People, Purpose, Process: The Lean Six Sigma Trifecta

March 25  |  12 – 1 p.m.  | Zoom Webinar

Project and workgroup charters are essential tools for defining the scope, vision, and objectives of process improvement efforts. By articulating shared goals, roles, and boundaries upfront, charters create alignment across teams, minimize ambiguity, and establish a roadmap for collaboration and accountability. 

Whether guiding a single initiative or steering cross-functional projects, charters serve as the foundation for purposeful action and measurable results – bringing people, purpose, and process together.

This webinar will equip participants with practical tools and a fresh mindset to elevate their roles as leaders, problem solvers, and collaborators.

Dr. Beth E. Gersper is a trusted voice in government innovation and organizational improvement, bringing more than a decade of experience facilitating collaborative transformation in public service. Within her organization, she leads statewide events with clarity and purpose—designing and delivering targeted training in Lean Six Sigma methodology and tools, as well as tailored learning sessions for teams and work groups. She guides small and large specialized improvement efforts through stakeholder sessions, process mapping, teamwork/workgroup development, research and analysis.

Beyond her immediate environment, Beth amplifies her influence through strategic collaborations and stakeholder engagements that include listening sessions with governor-appointed workgroups, department directors, and key decision-makers. A repeat presenter at the Prevention Conference, she blends deep subject matter expertise with an approachable, engaging style that empowers diverse teams to connect, reflect, and act with shared purpose.
