How does Six Sigma helps in changing the way we think and work?

After undergoing Six Sigma Training, your entire perspective changes, you start looking at problems as opportunities and the current process as improvement area; it changes your entire thought process wherein you start thinking "out of the box".

You are able to streamline your work better and start implementing Six Sigma learning in your routine tasks hence your efficiency and effectiveness goes up which leads to higher level of satisfaction.

In addition to the points made by Nitin, I would like to add that Six Sigma enables a complete transformation in your thinking process. You would start to see most of things "end to end" which means that your approach will be more process oriented rather than functional oriented. This means that you start looking at any work that is done as part of a larger objective or goal instead of getting lost in your narrow individual departmental objective. This is indeed a very big change in approach if you look at the way people work in almost every organization. Almost all organizations work around functions and departments which is not the best model for an organization. The result is waste, rework, delays and all kinds of bottlenecks that creep into the working systems. The reason being no one is thinking "end to end". Everyone has a narrow focus. Even a profitable organization will have lot of costs and waste due to the lack of this "end to end" thinking.

Any CEO will love to have people with this kind of thinking and approach. Therefore, for a student to develop this thinking process will be a big plus when working in an organization.
