When it comes to Lean Six Sigma resources, Steven Bonacorsi is by and large my go to pick for the best business partner to be teamed up with when one needs the additional resources to assist in tackling the really big jobs. He maintains not only a level of professional capability that few can rival in the industry but can also provide that capability across a broad spectrum of organizational size, from the mom and pop start-up right on up through the Fortune 100 leaders. It takes a talented individual to understand the diverse needs of such a large cadre of global business entities, and I'm glad to have him in my corner when the need arises. I highly recommend him as the go to resource when the situation requires having some additional horsepower in your corner.

"I first came to know about Steven Bonacorsi in the Lean groups he promotes and soon realized his talent and that was the time when I approached him to review my book in distributed agile. He is a very detail oriented person which I was able to understand after he passed on my book review and I get that he has grasped the whole content of my book (in just a short span), as otherwise no one will be able to give such a detail review. This makes me differentiate Steven from other leaders in the industry, who always had given 50,000 feet level advices to others but Steven gets into micro level details without keeping time as a constraint and hence his advices are always accurate."
"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Steven at XONITEK and witnessed first hand his subject matter experise and mastery of Lean Six Sigma with clients. Steven has a unique ability to connect with clients at all levels within their organization. Equally important, Steven's second to none professional network, strong consulting tool box and cutting edge knowledge of the trends in our industry, with out a doubt, makes him one of the leading trusted advisors out the"

Steven Bonacorsi was brought in under recommendation of Michelle Brown, Universal American’s VP of Corp Performance Improvement, to lead a continuous improvement Leans Six Sigma event for our Part D Rebate program. Our rebate program represent $1B in annual invoicing from over 50 manufacturers.
During long hours spent with Steve working through our operations, Steve was the consummate professional. Who brings a length and breadth of experience and life-long education that is hard to find. He was able to keep our team focused on the vision of what our operations “could be” by using real world examples from successful results driven projects that he either led or participated in the past. He is also a strong leader, who is quick to challenge any member of the team, and prove with empirical (quantitative and qualitative) data how “change” is needed to meet “Team” goals.
I would recommend Steve as a proven results driven leader for continuous business process improvement projects.
I had the pleasure of working with Steven Bonacorsi on a Lean Six Sigma project at Universal American regarding the Part D rebate program which invoiced over $1 billion annually to approximately 60 manufacturers.
Steve provided indepth training on Lean Six Sigma tools such as FEMA, RACI, SIPOC, etc. He worked with every individual to ensure that each team member had a strong understanding of the tools and was incorporating the tools into thier jobs to ensure that the project goals were being met. Steve went above and beyond on this project by stepping in to complete tasks for team members that were falling behind due to other commitments. His drive and commitment to holding team members to their due dates helped to make this project a success. The end results was over a $13 million savings.
Ken Flaherty, Strategy & Continuous Improvement Consultant
Steven Bonacorsi personally trained and certified 3,000 flag officers before finally transferring the Yellow Belt program to the Black Belts and Master Black Belt’s that completed the YB-TTT course. He started the Lean Six Sigma Symposiums for the first 2 years to help cross-command communications and best practice sharing. His work was instrumental in spreading LSS across the NAVAIR enterprise.
He personally coached Dr. Winters, Secretary of the US NAVY to set the Lean Six Sigma Standards for certifications, training which was integrated into the Leadership Development Program, and Led the development of the Federal lean Six Sigma Training and Curriculums across all NAVY commands which was later leveraged by the US Army.
his most noteworthy accomplishment while consulting fot the US Navy was in improving the overall Navy Readiness with the $40M Kaizen completed on the Warfighter Communication Software. These process improvements allowed faster software developments to increase safety, target precision, and increase the security of the troops.
Steven has personally mentored and develop so many thousands of NAVY and other Federal Groups leaders into the Lean Six Sigma Leaders changing the world today.
Steven in a top intellect that has been proven to drive results in whatever environment he is asked to serve. He has tremendous capacity and a strong work ethic.
Michael Spofford, Senior Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure at Indigo
Steven is an excellent manager. During my time working with him at General Electric, he consistently made himself available to mentor and support me during all phases of each Six Sigma project I was involved in.
In addition, Steven has an in depth knowledge of the best practices involved in planning and implementing quality projects. Because of this managers at multiple accounts consistently looked to him to improve broken processes and technologies. They also recognized that he was an excellent teacher and looked to him to develop Six Sigma training plans. He enthusiastically took on these responsibilities and implemented programs like the Six Sigma Lunch and Learn where different phases of a DMAIC project were covered in detail. Everyone who worked with him enjoyed it.
I highly recommend Steven as a manager, leader, and mentor.
