  1. On Strategy Implementation – Performance Excellence
    We discussed at length the idea of Six Sigma as a way to create synergy across the organization, to
    increase the probability of mission buy-in as well as the effective alignment of resources, and, most
    fundamentally, the production of near perfect output of product and service. Discuss the following in
    detail:
    a. What is one strength and weakness of this widely subscribed philosophy?
    b. Lastly, pertaining to your CEO company, identify the ONE burning issue that is a prime candidate
    for continuous improvement – that one thing holding the firm back from implementing good strategy
    (remember good strategy clearly defines the obstacles from which we must overcome – bad strategy
    does not)

    a. Using the traditional model from Kaplan and Norton customize your team company’s BSC model
    by identifying and completing ONE objective you will ‘measure’ for each scorecard component.
    Discuss in detail.
    b. Additionally, provide a basic, yet customized, illustrative model of your BSC to complement your
    response.
  4. On the Journey –
