A few months ago, a friend of mine recently asked on LinkedIn if anyone had any information about Six Sigma certification. It caught my eye, not only because a friend asked, but also because I’d recently come across a conversation on Reddit<\/strong> about Six Sigma, which got me thinking about the concept of\u00a0kaizen, <\/em>which is Japanese for “continuous improvement”.<\/em>\u00a0Following this path further, I learned more about the connections between kaizen<\/em>, Six Sigma, and Lean.

Cut to the NYC Lean\/Kanban Meetup, which I attended in June to learn more. Unfortunately, it was the last of the season, until September, but they have an ongoing weekly morning get-together on Fridays at 8:30 AM.<\/div>\n
