About The Operational Excellence Society

The Operational Excellence Society is a “think tank”; a grass-roots organization that emerged the Operational Excellence LinkedIn Group, the largest group of that genre by far, started by Joseph Paris. The society is staffed and managed by volunteers and has no dues or membership fees.

As the name implies, the society is dedicated to change agents who embrace the ideals of Operational Excellence, defined as the continuous and deliberate improvement of company performance AND the circumstances of those who work there — and working towards becoming a “High-Performance Organization”.

Members of the Operational Excellence Society — from seasoned practitioners to the newly curious — are united by an interest in sustainable and deliberate improvement and the enhancement of overall quality and value throughout the value chain during the pursuit of perfection.

To that end, we have established rigorous,”best in class”, enducation and training system that follows a prescriptive approach for building capacity and capability for strategy deployment across the enterprise — a foundational system for helping to create a corporate culture where Operational Excellence is the norm: The Operational Excellence Enterprise Readiness System.

The society is open to all comers and those interested including:

Professionals who coach individuals and conduct training companies
End users who have demonstrated the ability to deploy programs
Educators who develop and deploy curricula

For more information, please contact Joseph Paris at Joseph.Paris@opexsociety.org

The Operational Excellence Society is a platform designed for executives and practitioner in the disciplines of Business Process Improvement (BPI), Continuous Improvement (CI) and Lean Six Sigma.

The society was inspired, in part, by the Lean value known as gemba, or walking the process in real life. The society supports regional collegiate collaboration, the exchange of best-practices, shared experiences, and face-to-face mind-share. Our members network and collaborate at meetings in the United States, South America, the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East.

Our website includes an extensive library of knowledge resources on topics relating to Operational Excellence, and we encourage members to take full advantage of it. As a member, you may also nominate resources to add to the library — paid programs you have developed or materials you have used that may benefit fellow members.

Is your company communicating its vision effectively? Are your Operational Excellence resources getting involved in early stages of tactical and strategic planning? Through authorized partners, the society provides coaching and certification for organizations in the disciplines of Operational Excellence, services designed to help participants assess their readiness and align resources for Continuous Improvement programs.

For information on partnership opportunities, contact Joseph Paris at Joseph.Paris@opexsociety.org

The strength of the Operational Excellence Society is in its constituents, the core of which is the Operational Excellence LinkedIn Group with more than 75,000 members; a diverse group with representation from around the world and across all industries and disciplines representing an ever-growing source of knowledge, experience and skills.

In addition, further resources include our partnership with the Lean Six Sigma LinkedIn Group with over 650,000 members which we help to manage, and our highly acclaimed “Operational Excellence by Design” monthly eNewsletter with over 20,000 subscribers.

Finally, there is this website where we curate created and aggregated wisdom and know-how in our “Body of Knowledge” and which presently has well over 2,000 pieces of the highest quality content. And there is a Bookstore with hundreds of titles vetted by our constituents. Both the Body of Knowledge and the Bookstore are organized by genre for easy searching.
