Six Sigma in Real Life

Mark Marsico

CoREM’s Workshop for January 9, 2007


Most people in the business world have heard of “Six Sigma” and know that it is some sort of improvement methodology based on systems engineering and statistics. Some even know of its roots at Motorola and General Electric, and the stories from business leaders about how it transformed multi-billion-dollar companies.

We will start the New Year off by a “real world” workshop on Six Sigma: what it is, how it is used, and what it does. You will hear what it is like to be involved in a project, how it can bring striking results to a business, and what certification as a black belt can mean to your career.

Start the year off right by participating in this informative workshop. See directions below for how to reserve your place.
