Six Sigma Failure Factors
• Leaping to Solution• Not data driven or based on faulty assumptions
• Serving the Wrong Customer• Not based on the voice of the “next” customer
• Selecting the Wrong Projects• Not linked to strategy
• Solution-Caused Problems• Poor sequencing, stakeholder under-involvement, resource
planning, change management or project closure
Adapted from Six Sigma’s Seven Deadly Sins by James P. Zimmerman and Dr. Jamie Weiss of Kepner Tregoe
