Recenzii
Corporate Sigma is a unique, one of a kind book which describes a state-of-the-art set of best practices on how Lean Six Sigma can embrace Systems Thinking. It is the clearest, simplest and most practical book I have ever read on this subject.
—Stephen G. Haines, founder and CEO of Haines Centre for Strategic Management, and an authority in the Systems Thinking approach
Corporate Sigma explains, in easy-to-understand-and-apply style, how corporate wellness can be instituted, maintained, and improved. It is evident that anyone looking for a guide to organizational reformation and path to wellness would be well-served by the guidance of Corporate Sigma.
—John W. Sheets, Jr., corporate VP and chief technology officer, Bausch & Lomb
The hard stuff of quality does not ‘stick’ without the soft skills that people bring to the process. Corporate Sigma is a comprehensive approach. Well done!

The book describes how to formulate effective organizational vision, mission, and values; how to foster the shared organizational vision to succeed; and how to define strategic business objectives.
