“Change can come from anywhere, from the bottom-up or the top-down. The concepts at the core of Lean Six Sigma demonstrate this — change doesn’t have to come from your CEO or your leadership. Oftentimes, the more important person who can enact change is the person closest to the work, the person on the factory floor or processing that paperwork or interacting directly with the customers.”

— Huy Tran, instructor, UC Davis Graduate School of Management
