Is
a CEO Buy-in Mandatory before a Lean Six Sigma Deployment
Initiation?
Statement:
Our team was told a successful Six Sigma deployment
must have the CEO’s buy-in.
Response:
Initial executive buy-in is no
excuse for not working to advocacy sell the beginning
of a wise deployment of Six Sigma with Lean and
effective performance measures. Advocacy selling
may be the first step toward jump starting a deployment
that goes Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced
Scorecard.
What
should you look for when it comes to E-learning
– Distance Learning – Lean Six Sigma
Black Belt and Green Belt Training?
E-learning,
distance learning, blended e-learning with standup
training, and in-house Lean Six Sigma learning
course developers can dramatically improve the
effectiveness of training when there is a direct
textbook linkage.
Purchase
of Anheuser Busch by the Belgian Firm InBev and
an Enterprise Governance System
We talk about how companies need
to be good corporate citizens to the community
where they are located. I believe Anheuser Busch
has been a good corporate citizen to the St. Louis
area. Will a Belgian firm have as much incentive
to continue this behavior? I was deeply saddened
by the news of the potential purchase of Anheuser
Busch by the Belgian firm InBev. Because I was
raised in the St. Louis area, I had several flashbacks.

Making
Information Technology A Competitive
Advantage
Regrettably, many organizational
leaders view information technology
(IT) as a burdensome expense rather
than a resource that can provide
a competitive advantage. Seeking
a better way, businesses are looking
into deploying IT to its maximum
potential by making the system the
catalyst for instituting new improvement
initiatives. Some of the newer efforts
to make organizational improvements
are devoted to deploying the DMAIC
process on an enterprise-wide basis.
Four
Principles for Jump-starting Performance
Improvement - Introduction
Businesses large and small are using
Lean Six Sigma to improve their
organizations’ performance.
Too often, however, they are viewing
the methodology through myopic lenses.
Asked how they deploy Lean Six Sigma,
they describe initiatives that reduce
defects or listen better to the
voice of the customer. Asked how
the initiatives affect the corporate
bottom line, though, too few can
provide concrete data.
With
further elaboration on the shortcomings of traditional
systems and the details of an IEE implementation,
each volume builds upon one another so organizations
develop a true appreciation and understanding
of IEE benefits and its implementation.
