A Guiding Light – Making Lean Six Sigma Accessible

by catalystconsulting_manager on 13th July 2009

Lean Six Sigma for Dummies written by Catalyst Director’s John Morgan and Martin Brenig-Jones is reviewed by Chris Morgan from UK Excellence magazine.

In terms of practical learning, the ‘for dummies’ series is a collection of titles that, because of their light touch to explaining difficult concepts, are hard to beat. Lean Six Sigma for Dummies is no different. It’s a concise, clearly written handbook that walks the reader through what could be for some a pretty alien concept.

The book is split into five clearly defined sections: basics, working with …, assessing performance, improving processes and the part of tens. The first four sections walk the reader through the concepts, while the fifth distils the concepts down even further into chapters of ‘tens’ such as, ten best practices or ten pitfalls to avoid. This makes the read fairly light, while delivering really solid information within a meaningful context. As it’s written in relatively jargon-free language and easy-to-digest chunks, you can dip in and out of areas, or refer back to a specific concept with ease.

The key to a good guidebook is, for me, the ability to guide the reader through the subject easily and to enable assimilation of information. Lean Six Sigma for Dummies does this with ease and should be on the desk of any manager. It is definitely a regular read for quality professionals.
