The Logipi Community Says Lean and Six Sigma Are Alive and Well
When I came across the Q & A session with Gallup CEO, Jim Clifton, at Gallup Management Journal, I knew I had to bring it over to Logipi for discussion. In the article, Clifton said, "Businesses have maximized every possible benefit from practices based on neoclassical economics, such as Six Sigma, reengineering, and total quality management." He also said, "The significant competitive advantages from these practices have hit a point of diminishing returns."
Well, the results are in, and the Logipi community has spoken. The days of lean management and Six Sigma are definitely not over, but as Bruce Spurgeon commented, it may provide "less advantage than before." Several other community members agreed with Nigel Johnson, who said, the lean management and Six Sigma era is not over, but perhaps needs to "evolve beyond the current objectives."
