‘All organisations are perfectly aligned to get the results they get’

This quote is from Arthur Jones, an Australian born sociologist, author and former editor of Fortune Magazine and it reminds me of the old saying that ‘we get the politicians we deserve’.

SQT has been fortunate to work with some excellent organisations in the Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement World and by the same token have also witnessed (albeit a handful only) some Organisations that have faltered on that same journey.

The single biggest difference that explains this gap in results is the commitment and leadership of the Management Teams involved. If Management don’t make it their business to inform themselves of what CI is all about, don’t show passion and a conviction in selling, deploying and managing the Program, well then, it is destined to falter and not get results. …….i.e. ‘All organisations are perfectly aligned to get the results they get’…..
