Six Sigma has had a substantial impact on the way many businesses are run today. Companies that adopt Six Sigma send a strong message to their customers and shareholders that they are committed to delivering the highest quality product and service at competitive prices. Such companies commit people, time and resources to looking at the issues of the business with the view of developing long term, sustainable improvements. It is this level of commitment combined with a rigorous improvement methodology and the focus on customers that distinguishes Six Sigma from other improvement initiatives. Over the years, Six Sigma has become commonplace in a variety of industries both operational and service oriented in nature. This has been in response to the intensely competitive environment that most businesses today operate in. This book provides a framework on how companies can apply Six Sigma methodologies to where it can make the biggest difference, to drive growth. The approach outlined enables companies to focus their Six Sigma initiatives on growth by expanding its scope from continuous improvement to one of continuous innovation. It applies the structured Six Sigma methodology to understanding customers and their problems in depth, so that companies can continuously work to offer product and services that customer's value. It is aimed at helping companies with existing Six Sigma initiatives to focus them towards growth as well as to help non-Six Sigma companies enhance their Sales and Marketing efforts by giving them the Six Sigma tool set.Abramowich, Edward is the author of 'Six Sigma for Growth Driving Profitable Top-Line Results', published 2005 under ISBN 9780470821336 and ISBN 0470821337.
