Why They Fail ... and the Simple Key to Success!

Tired of watching continuous improvement efforts crash and burn? So are we. "Why They Fail" dives headfirst into the brutal truth behind failed Lean Six Sigma deployments, exposing the myths, the mistakes, and the outright absurdities that plague organizations worldwide. Forget the sugar-coated success stories—we're here to dissect the disasters, from executives who think training is optional to lone Green Belts drowning in unrealistic expectations. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'll also reveal the surprisingly simple key to unlocking sustainable success: ditching the quick fixes and building a rock-solid foundation. Buckle up, because this podcast is a no-holds-barred, reality check that will transform the way you think about continuous improvement.
