How NOT To Implement Six Sigma

About the Book

Your problem is: how can you get through the next few months or (God forbid) years until this Six Sigma nonsense blows over? Worry no more! This book will give you the knowledge, tools, and insights you need to guarantee the failure of Six Sigma in your organization. We know this is a big claim, but believe us, many companies have tested and proven these can’t-miss ideas. So relax, Mr. (or Ms.) Manager! We guarantee that just a few pages into this book and you will be making decisions that will severely cripple this Six Sigma “thing”. After that, you’ll be able to sit back and smile as they all come crawling back to your office, asking for forgiveness, and pleading with you for the real solution to the company’s problems (which of course, you already have- you’ve just been waiting for the right moment to whip it out and be the hero that you deserve to be, right?).
