Operational Agility: Applying Lean Six Sigma to Creative Leadership

A full DMAIC engagement addressing a high-friction operational problem: The absence of prioritization framework for resource allocation during capacity limitations. I designed a closed-loop, AI-powered Prioritization Credit System (PCS)™ GPT that evaluates projects and requesters using measurable criteria such as NPV, completeness, cycle-time impact, collaboration load, and scope creep risk. The system optimizes limited capacity toward the highest-value, highest-impact work while maintaining equity, transparency, and creative flexibility.

Capstone Deliverable: Prioritization Credit System (PCS)™ GPT

As the capstone deliverable of the DMAIC project, I developed the Prioritization Credit System (PCS)™ GPT; a closed-loop, AI-powered prioritization engine that evaluates every project using measurable criteria such as NPV, cycle-time impact, scope-creep risk, completeness, and collaboration load. The PCS™ transforms subjective project selection into a transparent, data-informed, and equitable system that optimizes limited capacity toward the highest-value work while maintaining fairness, creative flexibility, and strategic alignment.
