William L. McKnight at 3M"As our business grows, it becomes increasingly
necessary to delegate responsibility and to encourage men and women to exercise their initiative. This requires considerable tolerance. Those men and women, to whom we delegate authority and responsibility, if they are good people, are going to want to do their jobs in their own way.
"Mistakes will be made. But if a person is essentially right, the mistakes he or she makes are not as serious in the long run as the mistakes management will make if it undertakes to tell those in authority exactly how they must do their jobs.

How Six Sigma ‘killed’ innovation at 3M?

“The Six Sigma process killed innovation at 3M. Initially what would happen in 3M with Six Sigma people, they would say they need a five-year business plan for [a new idea]. Come on, we don't know yet because we don't know how it works, we don't know how many customers [will take it up], we haven't taken it out to the customer yet.“

We call the projects late and give as much time as possible for these ideas to blossom, as innovation is a very fragile process.
