CEE (Certified Efficiency Expert)

CERTIFIED EFFICIENCY EXPERT (CEE) PROGRAM

The Certified Efficiency Expert (“CEE”) certification is for individuals who either go into the field and consult with companies regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of their business workflows or who are internal to an organization seeking to optimize existing workflow processes.

Certified Efficiency Expert (CEE) Training

This course helps train consultants or internal employees to recognize inefficiencies in business processes and to either build new effective workflows or optimize existing ones. The training fosters the understanding required to identify waste, redundancy, defects, and rework, which cause poor customer service, lack of ESG compliance, cost overruns, and the inability to get things done at the speed of today’s business.

Course participants will develop the skill set to isolate these inefficiencies and identify and map dependencies from process to process cross-functional departments and team members to team members. They learn to build a Findings Report that clearly shows the current state and provides proactive keys to a future state via an executable action plan. Additionally, through this training, students are shown how a “systems thinking” mindset will enable them to look at any function or operation they encounter and identify ways of making it more efficient and effective.
