Introduction Contemporary business environment is characterized by changes emanating from globalization of markets, technological changes, political realignments, changing consumer preferences, organizational restructuring, among other changes. Consequently, organizations have to monitor their external environment and constantly align themselves with these changes in order to survive in the highly dynamic and competitive economic environment. The ability to anticipate, plan for, implement, and manage change is a key determinant of success in any business organization. Effective management of organizational change is a complex process that requires all the relevant stake holders within the organization to be change conscious. The organization’s response to internal and external demands and contingencies should be prompt and the activities and ideas across all the levels of the organization should be permeable in order to allow integration. Technological revolution which has been fueled by information and communication technology advancement has increased the rate and scope of change making the process of change even more complex. Managing change therefore demands new and more evolved cross functional initiatives and change management techniques to direct change in organizations. Lean Six Sigma combines lean methods with six sigma approaches to change management. It builds on extensive body of information, techniques, and tools drawn from previous operation development study and execution. While lean methods concentrate on reducing cost (through optimization) Six Sigma dwells on satisfying the client through quality production. Lean-Six Sigma as a change management tool Previously, Lean Six Sigma was used primarily for operational improvement within organizations. However, due to the dramatic changes taking place in the modern market, business organizations are constantly undergoing changes which demand restructuring, innovation, and adjustment. Consequently, organizations have to focus on establishing appropriate responses to such changes in addition to continuously improving their operations. Organizations such as General Motors and Caterpillar have implemented the Lean Six Sigma in their organizations which has assisted in bridging the gap between the company’s operations and stake holder’s expectations. The Six Sigma incorporates organization’s vision, development of a strategy through which the management seeks to achieve its objectives, and the strategy execution process (Hartung, 2010). It utilizes statistical tools to assess the quality of products and services of an organization which facilitates quality improvement. The Six Sigma emphasizes on the need for continuous improvement of products and services in order to meet consumer specifications and requirements. Organizations have further introduced the concept of lean methodology which focuses on the internal need to maximize value through optimal production and reduction in overall operational costs (Aruleswaran, 2010). Lean and six sigma work concurrently to integrate the needs of the customer and business needs. This enables the organization to provide quality products and enhance speed through lean processes and operations. Lean and Six Sigma have been successfully implemented both separately and together across a variety of manufacturing and non manufacturing industries in the economy (Hartung
