Today’s corporations, institutions, and government agencies need to make significant improvements in their value proposition and business economics. Above all, this aim requires strong leadership at all levels of the organization. Given the best tools and methods in the world, all is for naught without solid leadership. With the continuous flow of ever changing market conditions, Business Excellence Leaders must now have the ability to improvise and adapt to the circumstances at hand. No longer can the world afford the classical cookie-cutter approach to business process excellence. We now need leaders that can successfully integrate into viable and sustainable programs that deliver immediate results.

To improve means we must be able to predict and prevent, not detect and react.

We then brought in Mikel Harry, a former Motorola manager who was running the Six Sigma Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona. … I canceled our usual golf outing—a symbolic gesture if there ever was one—so that 170 of us could listen to Harry talk about his program … Harry’s presentation succeeded in capturing our imagination. I sensed [Six Sigma] was a lot more than statistics for engineers … At Six Sigma’s core is an idea that can turn a company inside out, focusing the organization outward on the customer.

Mikel Harry's innovation of the Breakthrough Strategy has taken quality into America's boardrooms.

I like to say, “Mikel was my teacher, my mentor, my research partner and my friend. I had the honor and privilege of working with Mikel for more than 15 years.
Mikel considered me the foremost expert on MindPro and allowed me to write the simulated case study that is included in MindPro and allowed me to make the last two updates to MindPro.
Mikel and I were not always in 100% agreement which meant our challenges of each other led to better work and allowed me to understand Mikel at a level that most will never understand. It is a relationship I will always cherish.
