The pursuit of process perfection: Fort Lauderdale quality professionals find value in The Six Sigma Roundtable

The latest improvement strategies and making valuable contacts – both are critical to quality professionals looking for bottom-line results. American Society for Quality member Frank Leonardi, CMQ/QE, is a senior quality assurance manager at Activant Solutions Inc. in Austin, Texas. He is responsible for software product testing. Leonardi attended the 2005 Six Sigma Roundtable, and remembers it well.

“The Roundtable gave me a number of contacts and many resource materials, as well as case studies that I can cite in the future,” Leonardi said. “The exercises imparted valuable information and built my skills in certain areas such as brainstorming, and distilling concepts into a plan of action.”

The 2006 6th Annual Six Sigma Roundtable will take place September 14 and 15, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Roundtable will provide in-depth presentations from Six Sigma professionals from top-level organizations in a variety of industries, on a variety of applications.

The event also includes networking sessions, keynotes, a panel discussion, and a reception, all designed to help participants obtain information and make contacts for advancing Six Sigma quality initiatives in their organization. The ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam will be held on-site before the roundtable.

“There is significant credibility associated with ASQ certification,” Leonardi said. “Although I am not actively pursuing employment, over the last 6-9 months two recruiters have approached me with positions that require ASQ certification.”
