Let me suggest that Black Belts and Master Black Belts would be wise to spend time with a CFO or Controller, to understand what the business leaders are looking at to run the business. Take the time to understand the difference between the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return, EBITDA and Cashflow. Your business leaders may in fact be paying far closer attention to these metrics than process metrics. And the next time you have to explain how your projects affect the company, you can speak the language of business – cash.

ここでは、ビジネスリーダーが重視するEBITやCashFlowなどのFinanceBenefitをおさえておこうと提案する(でも教科書的な考えを否定しているわけではない)。他にもSixSigmaに関する情報があるので興味がある人はどうぞ。
