Explaining Six Sigma as a Job


Posted by: meikah | 29 June 2008 | 8:48 pm

When people go up to you and ask what you do as a Six Sigma Black Belt or even a Six Sigma practitioner, what do you tell them?

It’s easier to explain it to fellow Six Sigma practitioners. In fact, you would surely end up with a lively and fruitful discussion. But to the general public, the scenario is different.

Not a lot of people are really familiar with Six Sigma. So when the general public ask what it is, you often find yourself mumble, “it’s a quality methodology.” Because when you explain further, most likely you’d be looking at a person with more questions in his eyes.

So how do you explain Six Sigma as the job you do?

Meanwhile, here’s an interesting video from YouTube (via LearnSigma) about a father trying to explain to his son (played by Ashton Kutcher at that) what he does.
