This may be the first "Six Sigma" friendly process improvement methodology HOW TO book on the market. The book walks you through a prescriptive STEP-BY-STEP approach for facilitating the discovery of measurable and mappable business process improvements.

You will never need to ask yourself, "What do I do next?"

Identifying defects, integrating real-time performance feedback functions, conducting cross-functional work sessions and more are all covered in this book. From Kick-Off to Completion, this book has it all. Everything you need to lead, manage and complete breakthrough BPI projects.

If you are using Six Sigma, or any other approach to Business Process Improvement, this book is a MUST READ! I recommend you start with the first book, The Helix Factor - The Key to Streamlining Your Business Processes, by the same author.

WOW! The book's subtitle says it all-these ARE the keys to creating efficiencies in business processes. Michael Wood extends the lessons learned in his first book, The Helix Factor, by providing a working manual, complete with templates and instructions. Using an actual case study, Mr. Wood shows you how to apply the Helix tools to business improvement. This is the only guide I have found that is useful as a field book to facilitating a process improvement project.

The Hexlix Factor II will definitely help you launch projects and ultimately bring them to a successful conclusion. This authoritative guidebook provides all the tools you need to your make business processes more efficient and create a positive impact to your bottom line.

The only thing missing is an electronic version of the templates used in the Helix approach. However, given the fact that they are relatively easy to construct and will provide a valuable learning experience from the reader, their omission does not detract from the importance of the material.
