A well-run Six Sigma initiative helps achieve strategic goals for business success, including financial growth.
Business leaders talk about strategy, goals and objectives as critical factors to business success. At the same time, these leaders seem to apologize that the business they lead is in business to make money. Unless the business strategy leads to financial success-making money-the business future is uncertain. Therefore, financial improvements, and methods to measure them, must be included in the strategic goals for a business.
As a leader and manager in an organization, the job is to grow the business- sales, profits and shareholder value, including customer and employee satisfaction. Helping businesses grow is noble work. A good return on invested capital keeps people employed making goods and services available in a capitalist system. Currently one of the best tools available to meet strategic goals for business success, including financial growth, is a well-run Six Sigma initiative.
