Six Sigma Champion TrainingSpeaker: Mark Lansley, Managing Director, BMG Europe and Master Black Belt

 
Course Length: three consecutive days - September 20 – 22, 2005

The Champion training is targeted for managers looking for an in-depth introduction to Six Sigma. The program gives business leaders the skills they need to drive financial results. This intensive three-day course starts with an overview of Six Sigma and the DMAIC methodology. From there, class participants spend a significant amount of time talking about Six Sigma projects – and specifically how to recognize, prioritize, scope and define them. Special attention is paid to understanding what is, and more importantly, what is not, a Six Sigma project.

In the classroom, participants are provided with a series of templates and guidelines to aid in meeting their objectives. Additionally, a simulation exercise is used to demonstrate DMAIC tools. Finally, participants learn what steps are necessary to build a Six Sigma infrastructure. This includes techniques used to engage support functions such as Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology to build the necessary governance for Six Sigma.

Deloitte and AmCham Roundtable

 
Topic:
Corporate Governance - Standards of Best Practice
 
The goal of the round-table is to present different aspects of corporate governance to an audience of non-expert, but interested businesspeople. It is also intended to familiarize the audience with the current status of corporate governance in Croatia and the European Union and with developments in these regions. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of institutional investors.

The round table will focus on the following issues:
• The National Code on Corporate Governance and the annual compliance statement;
• Shareholder activism – the role of pension funds and their impact on the securities markets;
• Experience from practice – the role of the corporate secretary, board committees, compensation issues, audit;
• Financial and other surveys on corporate governance (local and international).
Our aim is to stimulate a focused and informative discussion. To do so, we are inviting three categories of participants: panelists, commentators and guests. Panelists and commentators are attendees with standing and knowledge who will contribute their professional expertise and experience to the discussion.
The event is open to all members of the American Chamber of Commerce and other interested parties as guests. Guests will be encouraged to ask questions and participate in the discussions commentators and panelists initiate.

The official language of the event will be Croatian.
