The Ten X Group presents

The Sigma AI Shift 2027

The Operational Excellence & AI Symposium Series

Bring a real problem. Leave with a tested prototype. Three one-day symposia and one Summit where Lean Six Sigma, process redesign, ESG metrics and AI simulation meet on one shared platform.

Leaner processes. Lower carbon. Smarter with AI.

7.5 hHRD Corp claimable training per symposium
100–150Participants at each symposium
4Hands-on labs: LSS, BPMN, ESG and AI
3 + 1Symposia in Jan, May and Aug, then the Summit in Oct
How it works

Problem in. Prototype out.

This is not a day of slides. Two weeks before, you create a platform profile and write a one-paragraph problem statement. On the day, your team works that problem through four labs and leaves with a prototype and a one-page business case.

  1. Before Profile and problem statement
  2. LSS lab Define, measure, root cause
  3. BPMN lab As-is and to-be process
  4. ESG lab kWh, tCO2e and RM saved
  5. AI lab What-if simulation
  6. Pitch Prototype and business case
The 2027 series

One platform. Three symposia. One Summit.

January · Next

Symposium 1

Engineering OpX

Leaner plants, lower carbon. For engineers, manufacturing, and oil and gas.

May

Symposium 2

Service OpX

Smoother guest and patient flow, lower energy bills. For hotels, hospitals and F&B.

August

Symposium 3

Digital OpX

Lean, automated and resilient operations. For utilities, banking, finance and services.

October

The Summit

From pilots to scale

The best cases of the year, the OpX Awards, industry panels and the platform launch.

Every symposium keeps the same four modules. Only the sector cases, examples and lab templates change, and your platform profile carries over from one event to the next.

The programme

Symposium 1: a full day, hands-on

08:30 to 17:30, with 7.5 claimable training hours. Every module ends in a lab on the platform.

Claimable training module Break, partners and networking

After the day you keep platform access for 30 days to refine your prototype. Submit an implementation update and the strongest cases are invited to present at the Summit.

  1. Registration and coffee

    Check-in, platform login check, partner booths open

  2. Opening and ice-breaker

    Welcome by the Chairperson. Teams of 4–5 form around similar problems.

  3. Module 1: Lean Six Sigma for operational excellence

    DMAIC, value stream mapping, waste and root cause analysis with plant and maintenance examples.

    Problem defined, baseline and root causes logged
  4. Break

    Partner showcase

  5. Module 2: BPM and BPMN process redesign

    Map the as-is process, find bottlenecks and hand-offs, design the to-be process.

    As-is and to-be BPMN maps
  6. Lunch and networking

    Partner showcases and free professional membership sign-up

  7. Module 3: ESG metrics and energy reduction

    Energy baseline (kWh), emissions (tCO2e), cost of energy, saving levers in motors, storage and HVAC, and Bursa sustainability reporting basics.

    Energy and carbon baseline, savings targets
  8. Break

    Partner showcase

  9. Module 4: AI simulation lab

    Run what-if scenarios, combine your LSS, BPMN and ESG results, build a prototype and a one-page business case.

    Prototype and business case
  10. Team showcase

    Each team pitches in 3 minutes. The panel picks the best case for the Summit.

    Case submitted to the library
  11. Open forum and close

    Questions to all speakers, key takeaways and certificates.

Frequently asked questions

Is it HRD Corp claimable?

Yes. Each symposium delivers 7.5 training hours. The programme, registration and invoices are under 10 X Enterprise (003013496-V), our HRD Corp registered training provider. The Summit is a conference format and is not claimable unless a training track is added.

Do engineers get CPD hours?

We are applying for CPD hours with IEM. Approval is pending and we will confirm the hours before the event.

What do I need to bring?

A laptop and a real problem from your workplace. Two weeks before the day you will receive your platform login, short pre-reading and a template for your problem statement.

Can my company send a team?

Yes, and we recommend it. Teams of 4–5 from the same organisation can work on one shared problem. Choose “Group” in the form and tell us how many seats you need.

Can we become a partner?

Yes. Choose “Sponsor or partner” in the form and we will send you the partnership deck. Each category has one partner only.

Bring your problem. Leave with a prototype.
