The 4th generation of Six Sigma

Last week I attended a presentation by Dr. Mike Vandermark of Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Vandermark, Dr. Mikel Harry and key colleagues (Sandra Harry, MBA; Connie Januzzi; Drew Lehman) made one of their first public appearances since launching The Great Discovery.

If Dr. Harry's name sounds familiar, it is because he is considered the key architect of Six Sigma: the quality-plus-more-program that originated at Motorola and changed the way many of the world's leading companies do business. Dr. Harry is calling The Great Discovery "the fourth generation of Six Sigma".

Leadership was not directly addressed with earlier versions of Six Sigma and becoming a Black Belt still requires diving into a complex world of schematics and statistics, but ... there are two contrasts that make this fourth generation intriguing:

1) it embraces the human element necessary for success

2) the simplicity and clarity of this systems approach can be grasped and applied to developing world class success by kids and Fortune 100 CEOs alike

When a process like The Great Discovery is combined with an an expert coach and a motivated client ready to engage in their definition of "progress", successes are sure to follow.
