IT Data for Six Sigma
Posted by: meikah | 7 May 2008 | 10:48 pm
Dealing with data is part and parcel of any operation. But how to treat the data in your hands is another question. That is the usual dilemma that CIOs and senior IT team leaders face.
What’s ironic even, is that CIOs and senior IT team leaders often find themselves handling a lot of data, yet they seldom treat these information as something that can help them optimize their organizations effectively. That is because they don’t have the tools that help them sift through and find the relevant data. This is where Six Sigma comes in.
Thus, in the recent Six Sigma in IT conference, this question was asked: “What should we be measuring for our IT organization?”

Six Sigma for the Church
Posted by: meikah | 1 April 2008 | 9:31 pm
Why not? The church is an organization, too, and thus has processes working toward some goal.
This is what Paul Brantley, the new director of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, wants. He aims to make his church to be the world’s best-run organization, To do that, he’s looking at some form of assessment to help him achieve his goals. He takes inspiration from successful companies across many industries. Read about his plans for the church.
Six Sigma or any other continuous improvement methodologies will definitely do good for any organization.
We wish Paul Brantley good luck. Just by considering improvement and assessment, already he’s on the right track.
