Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/07/2011 -- Dr. Mikel Harry, world-acclaimed Six Sigma co-creator, best-selling author, international speaker and top consultant will launch his revolutionary business leadership and personal achievement process, The Great Discovery® on Saturday, October 29, 2011. The event takes place at ASU’s SkySong Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Convergence Room (150).
Six Sigma, the business management strategy Dr. Harry co-developed in the 1980’s at Motorola with Bill Smith, spurred scores of Fortune 500 companies – including Motorola, Ford, DuPont and General Electric – to improve profitability and create business growth. Today, Six Sigma standards are still championed by loyal devotees the world over, even in government. For example, Presidential hopeful and former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich is now actively promoting Six Sigma as the way to greatly reduce the cost of government, while at the same time, significantly lowering the national debt.
Beyond question, Six Sigma has demonstrated its power to drive down costs and greatly improve the operating efficiency of large-scale organizations. However, classical Six Sigma methods were not designed for use by small business and individuals. Owing to this, Six Sigma has largely remained a “big dog” program. Even then, these methods could only be absorbed and applied by about 2-5% of an organization’s workforce.
But this all started to change a few years ago when Dr. Harry and his team of researchers began to closely study his 25 years of personal notes, correspondence, case studies and papers. In this material they found many rich “lessons learned” that were universal in nature and highly repeatable, yet best of all, teachable. Through these lessons the team was able to successfully identify and extract the primary factors that underpin the consistent realization of performance breakthroughs.
After another year of development and testing, Dr. Harry synthesized these key factors into what he calls: “The 7 Supreme Laws of Performance Breakthrough,” now known as “The Great Discovery.” According to Dr. Harry, The Great Discovery promises the seismic results outlined in Six Sigma, but this time the system of application is specifically designed for small business and personal development. By right-sizing Six Sigma for the masses, Dr. Harry has made the benefits of Six Sigma accessible to anyone and everyone – individuals, small businesses, and entrepreneurs; even work teams within large-scale enterprises and government agencies. Now, with this new set of tools, the power of Six Sigma can be engineered into the DNA of our nation’s economic base – small business. As Dr. Harry says: “The same way of thinking invariably produces the same result. To change the result means to change the way of thinking. As your way thinking changes, you will naturally ask new questions which open opportunities to discover new and better solutions.”
