Purpose: This paper will highlight the current research, practices and an innovative framework for enhancing Lean Six Sigma leadership engagement, and program success in higher educational institutions. Methodology/Approach: Based on the literature and the author’s experience in industry, the author has developed a framework that Lean Six Sigma leaders in higher educational institutions can utilize to guide program success and implement an infrastructure for governance that helps to ensure alignment of the improvement initiatives. Findings: Three key themes are found in the research literature that contribute to successful process organizational change including: 1) need for executive sponsorship’s active role in defining the infrastructure for change; 2) development of purposeful program governance; and 3) importance of aligning the program’s initiatives with the organization’s strategic plan. The critical framework elements that are addressed within the framework are executive sponsorship, program governance, strategic and cultural alignment. Practical Implications: Higher Educational Institutions can apply the framework to enhance the success of the Lean Six Sigma programs and ensure alignment to their key strategic initiatives.
