"a struggle"
I found this hard to get through. I've listen to a bunch of these books and this book was by far the worst. I would not recommend this to anyone.

"OK..."
What did you like best about The Six Sigma Way? What did you like least?I think the biggest gripe I have about this book is the narrator's monotone voice ...i found myself frequently falling asleep...!!! other than that the contents are again a bit theoretical and due to my "sleeping" breaks i have to listen to this again to fully comprehend what the authors are trying to convey...!!!
Would you be willing to try another book from the authors? Why or why not?Maybe...too theoretical..
What aspect of John Lescault’s performance would you have changed?bring more energy and subtle up/down intonations into the voice...
Did The Six Sigma Way inspire you to do anything?nope...not yet...

"Not worth the money and time"
The writer spends most of the book explaining the obvious and not enough on technical understanding.

"Good basic info"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?This is a good introduction to Six Sigma ways and practices. It is not a text book but gives good information on how and how not to use Six Sigma. Excellent examples.

"I found it very useful and inspiring"
I have studied Six Sigma at Motorola University and therefor have a good understanding of the concepts and the technical stuff behind.
The book doesn’t give a “HowTo” on the practical level and implementation, regarding all the hardcore mathematical tools and a real step by step on the DMAIC process – BUT a very good top level management insight0 of 1 people found this review helpful
