What if your organization s leaders are not doing everything you believe is necessary to make the Six Sigma initiative a success?

You can’t force cooperation and support, and you can’t do the entire project by yourself, so what can you do?

You can develop skills that will help you successfully

• lead or participate in project teams

• influence others whose help you need

The checklists, worksheets, and other job aids in this Pocket Guide are designed to help you accomplish this. Just as you’ve become familiar with the DMAIC process and (if you’re a Black Belt or Green Belt) the statistical tools, you should do the same with the tools in this guide. See what’s available and what’s appropriate, and be ready to use the right tool at the right time.
