At our work, we do Lean Six Sgima (LSS). LSS is a process improvement technique that is the equivalent of perpetual motion. In my organization, we do it on all kinds of things and have a practically unblemished record of utter failure. Despite the thing being an enormous money and time pit, we tell our parent organizations how successful it is.
This is a lie and lying is a sin.
Can I get out of doing LSS for religious reasons?
I wish you would blog more about the Kafkaesque world of LSS.
ReplyDeleteHow about getting out of it for health reasons? As in, it makes you sick to your stomach?
ReplyDeleteRecant you heretic! Lean Six Sigma is the only true management religion. It is subversives like you that are the real cause of failure. All hail σσσσσσ.
ReplyDeleteB-Daddy, I'm impressed at your html prowess that you figured out how to type a sigma!
ReplyDeleteTo run the LSS, your company need to have some blackbelt or master to organize the project. If it is totally fail, you shall ask the expert to find out the rootcause. Then, correct from the mistake.
ReplyDeleteLSS not say that 100% success, but according to my experience, more than 70% of the project can achieve the goal.
The major problem is lying. Lying will never helps to solve the problem but make the problem bigger.
I for one am totally impressed by Mr. six sigma's pithy wordsmithing and overall evangelism content.
