Business Improvement Intern - Summer 2022

Business Improvement Summer Intern

The Business Improvement Team (BIT) has accountability for supporting the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) program across THG and our operating companies. Through the LSS Governance Committee, we partner with 10 businesses / corporate groups to determine what training offerings, coaching and support they need to successfully deploy the program in their areas.

We utilize a project/program/portfolio (PPM) platform called PowerSteering into which all LSS ideas, projects, financial and other program information are entered. The system is powerful but can be challenging to navigate for users. We need to develop, document, and communicate simple ways for users to enter complete, accurate data into the system so it can be reported in a timely fashion to leadership.
