"Six Sigma Knowledge Design" fills an enormous void in the business community: the need to understand how the hidden value of knowledge can make or break a six sigma initiative. It is a must-read for all business and technical leaders who are interested in evaluating the viability of their six sigma investment. New York Times best-selling author Mikel Harry, Ph.D. presents ten essential "reasoning filters" for evaluating the integrity of six sigma knowledge in his recently published "Six Sigma Knowledge Design: Illuminating the Path to Successful Deployment". The filters can be used to establish the general capability of any six sigma knowledge architecture in terms of its ability to enable business breakthrough. With clarity and depth, Dr. Harry describes how six sigma curricula should be designed, disseminated and delivered in direct support of a corporate-wide six sigma thrust. As Dr. Harry does this, he also provides general precepts and principles for six sigma leaders and practitioners. Specifically, "Six Sigma Knowledge Design" addresses: * The different meanings and definitions of six sigma * Why ideas are more powerful than tools * What causes a six sigma initiative to unnecessarily stall * Why knowledge should be "global yet local" * How curriculum integrity empowers academic freedom * Why the topic of black belt certification is a can of worms * Why champions and black belts are leaders, not technicians
