Hi John.... as you probably appreciate, my use of six sigma is not an endorsement of the approach, but an endorsement of how successfully they have managed to...
Hi Patti Thank you for sending this. I posted a comment on Dr. Lee´s blog: Dear Dr. Lee Let me start by briefly introducing myself and Innovisor. We are a...
Hello, Very few clients buy "network analysis" but many organizations are becoming aware of the networked nature of their business. I don't see SNA as a new...
Hi Laurie - Yeah, the 6-Sigma people have done a nice job of (over) institutionalizing their technique. BTW, 6-Sigma is easily Number One - The Stupidest...
Great insights Matt! Orgnet now has a data base of high performing organizations and their network patterns and training/mentoring on how other organizations...
