Change is good. But sometimes people refuse it because they’ve become complacent. Complacency though is the beginning of downfall.
Anything that means improvement also means change. Yet, for any business to grow, it must embrace change. One catalyst for change is Lean Six Sigma.
An article on iSixSigma discusses how Lean Six Sigma can serve as a change management tool:
Lean Six Sigma drives change in an organization. It inspires people to look at their processes differently – through the data-savvy lens of waste awareness – and to discover, characterize and control their processes. In so doing, this behavior drives process improvements, which often require changes to be communicated, deployed and managed.
But Lean Six Sigma also is, in and of itself, a change management tool that will facilitate the changes that it requires, as well as those of other change initiatives in an organization. As such, even the deployment of Six Sigma enables, rather than impedes, simultaneous change initiatives.
