Whatever happened to Six Sigma?
Like a lot of business methodologies, the principles are sound - but eventually they turn into cargo cults around a meta-process that only exists to feed itself.The exact same thing is happening now with 'Agile' where big corporations are switching to sprints and hiring scrummasters, and renaming departments - mostly as a way to stay hip and cool. But at the end of the day, there is no business framework that will replace good judgement and discernment.
