Lean Six Sigma and Duct Tape Marketing, an effective combination
Dager, a Duct Tape Marketing Coach and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is well versed in these disciplines. Both large and small companies are trying to find solutions to be more cost effective, more efficient, and more innovating. One such solution is using a combination of Lean Six Sigma Marketing and Duct Tape Marketing.

Marketing your Black Belt, Lean Six Sigma Consultants
I believe that Lean Six Sigma Consulting has the greatest opportunity ever and in my terms, opportunity = NEED. What we need is the greatest transformation of efficiencies from know-how to implementation, and I think Lean Six Sigma is ideally suited to fulfill that need.
Making Lean Part of the Business Strategy
With the best of intentions, many companies fail to secure the desired results for lean manufacturing initiatives. Why? Because the lean initiatives are not part of the overall business strategy.
Working at Warp Speed in a Lean Turnaround!
A Lean Transformation in your company may be the best way to create the scenario you need for success. You need to instill processes, culture, manage events and work at warp speed. Lean has a structure that is well defined, a proven commodity that you can follow in a step by step basis.

The Knockout Entrepreneur: The Early Years of George Foreman
He went from being a lean, mean fighting machine to selling lean, mean grilling machines. At 6 foot 3.5 inches, George Foreman stands tall as a leader in the boxing world and business world alike. And, in both, he has risen to unprecedented heights of success. Considered one of the top ten greatest boxers of all time, and having sold almost 100 million George Foreman Grills, this is one entrepreneur who refuses to get knocked down.

Theory of Constraints + Lean + Six Sigma = Ultimate Improvement Cycle
What caught my interest in Bob's book The Ultimate Improvement Cycle is that recently there has been an added push from TOC disciples to bring TOC on an equal playing field as Lean and Six Sigma. I find it interesting because bottlenecks and constraints are an integral part of Lean and Six Sigma training but TOC has never seemed to be on an equal platform.
Building a Lean Healthcare Value Stream
Many or most Lean teachings come from the Toyota Production System - which is why it is common for Lean practitioners to assume that the thing being processed is a physical inventory item (like a car). But it doesn't have to be. Literally 99% of Lean concepts apply to ANY industry.
Rent Billboard Ad Space on a Left-Hand Read
Every two-sided outdoor billboard has two distinctly different ad faces to rent -- the right-hand read and the left-hand read. The right-hand read is the side of the sign that is seen on the right-hand side of the street, while the left-hand read is the side that is always seen on the other side of the road, beyond the lane carrying traffic the other direction.
When Lean Thinking Fails
Most of us are familiar with the term "Lean Thinking." The technique for making continuous improvement has been around for nearly 30 years, and it produces remarkable progress in any organization when it is applied correctly. There are numerous examples of how a well-engineered Kaizen event can yield a more than 50% improvement in productivity in a single week. My observation is that there are nearly as many failures of lean programs as successes. This article outlines some reasons why.
Advancing the Concepts of Lean Methodologies in Optimizing the Extended Sales Enterprise
Lean Management is a practice that assesses the expenditure of resources associated with any organizational process. If a step within a process does not advance the cause of creating value for the organization, it becomes a target for elimination.
