Top Decisions that I've made as a Six Sigma / OpEx Leader:

Teach strategic thinking to Master Black Belts

They need to be thinking like their executive teams

Work in 30-Day Sprints (Agile) w/ teams and on projects

Identify Non-Value Added work and stop doing it

Automate Necessary, Non-Value work

Recognize constraints and break them

Remember how you feel when you are constrained (tight, upset,

etc...) so you can recognize this in yourself and in teams

Systems Thinking is critical.

Interfaces and Interactions are where we fail in product, process

and communications

Everything can be tested and learned from

Define the Output you are looking for and define what is "Good"

and "Bad" before testing

All the best,
