Dominion Digital Hires Six Sigma Experts & Enhances Process Excellence Offerings

For Immediate Release

RICHMOND/CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - August 22, 2005 - Dominion Digital, a regional Business & Technology consulting firm, announced today three new hires, all with Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt certifications and experience. Augmenting a team already strong in Process Excellence, their addition reinforces the firm’s commitment to and capabilities in this essential aspect of Business Consulting and Operational Performance Improvement.

Geoff Mildenhall, a Master Black Belt coming from Harley-Davidson Inc. joined the team early this summer along with Kevin Hood and Rahul Agarwal, Black Belts from Industriaplex Inc. and Royce Too LLC, respectively. Kevin is a returning Dominion Digital alumnus, having spent the past few years with larger firms attaining his Six Sigma training and certification. His ongoing friendship with the firm and subsequent return are testaments to the extended ‘friends and family’ circle Dominion Digital has nurtured over the years, an important cultural dimension of the firm.

“Investing in technology alone greatly limits your ability to achieve step-change performance improvement,” says Dominion Digital Founder & CEO Chris Little. “Even a small early investment in understanding and improving your business processes can prevent the costly outcome of discovering after months of effort and millions of technology dollars that you have simply ‘sped up the mess’ or ‘paved the cow-path’.”

“More and more of today’s business leaders recognize that results-focused, controllable, flexible, lean processes are key to achieving more, faster, and with less,” says Mike Zirkle, Dominion Digital’s Management Consulting Practice Lead. “We combine our results-driven implementation experience with our expertise in Lean, Six Sigma and re-engineering best practices to help our clients turn their process improvement goals into manageable day-to-day operational reality.”

Dominion Digital’s value to its clients embraces the combination of process and technology expertise, along with pragmatic hands-on project management and execution. The firm’s highly experienced teams engage with each client to understand and articulate clear business objectives. We then collaborate with the client on designing process and technology solutions, and implement these solutions all the way through completion. Says Little, “We don’t just plan and advise; we roll up our sleeves and we do. Hiring industry experts who share our core values of Service, Value, Passion, Excellence, Teamwork, and Respect is a big step towards enhancing our offerings and serving our clients even better.”
