Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) play a key role in various developmental and public welfare initiatives in society. One of their primary aims is to benefit a large number of people through various initiatives. Hence, it is very important for an NGO to have a set of well defined & robust business processes right from fundraising, scheme design, fund deployment and tracking progress of various initiatives. Lean Six Sigma with its inherent strength of building strong, robust & world class processes finds natural application in NGOs. Some of the applications of Lean Six Sigma projects in NGOs are:

 

• Improving the fundraising processes
• Improving the information management process related to the identification of fund sources.
• Designing effective fund deployment schemes.
• Improving the effectiveness of managing donor expectations.
• Improving communication processes.
• Improving the brand building processes.
• Improving the efficiency of social benefit processes. (more benefit per million Rupees)
• Improving the effectiveness of social benefit processes. (confirmed benefit for targeted beneficiaries)
• Improving trust and ease of verification of fund utilization.
