Organizations can waste much resource with: Strategy creation and execution: Organizations can spend much time with strategy creation, where often it is difficult interpret what should be done to address passed-down strategies. Also, the strategy creation process often does not systematically blend analytics with innovation to determine the best place to target strategy-improvement efforts. Scorecards: Red-yellow-green scorecards may seem to be a good management practice; however, these scorecards can lead to much firefighting. Also, traditional forced scorecard balanced using the balanced sco

For many organizations, scorecard & dashboard metrics, strategic planning, and/or business improvement systems are leading to activities that are not beneficial to the enterprise as the whole. Traditional organizational measurement and improvement systems, where emphasis is given to meeting goals at any cost, can lead to unintended consequences. In the extreme case, this was part of Enron’s downfall. For long-lasting-over-time improved decision making to occur that is not so dependent upon the sophisticated insight of a few key individuals, an enterprise management system framework is ne

Businesses can benefit from Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Lean Kaizen events, ISO, Malcolm Baldrige Award, Shingo Prize, etc. However, these problem-solving or assessment methodologies do not provide a business framework so that organizations can move toward achieving the three Rs of business; i.e., everybody doing the Right things and doing them Right at the Right time. The problem-solving-methodologies of Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, and Lean Kaizen events can provide organizational-silo-benefits; however, organizations can be claiming that they saved 100 million dollars but nobody can find t

This manual provides answers to the quantitative exercises and some of the qualitative and team exercises found in Implementing Six Sigma, 2nd edition. As Forrest Breyfogle explains, "Defining the right problem to solve is perhaps harder than the mechanics of solving a textbook exercise. To help with this, I have included within some exercises discussions about the implication of a Smarter Six Sigma Solutions (S4) or Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) approach for business problems."

Perhaps best known for his widely acclaimed translations of the Greek tragedies and Herodotus’s History, as well as his edition of Hobbes’s Thucydides, David Grene has also had a major impact as a teacher and interpreter of texts both ancient and modern. In this book, distinguished colleagues and former students explore the imaginative force of literature and history in articulating and illuminating the human condition.Ranging as widely as Grene’s own interests in Greek and Roman antiquity, in drama, poetry, and the novel, in the art of translation, and in English history, th
