It may be that the greatest area for improvement in our organizations today is in the functions - the enabling processes of human resources, finance, and information services. Dan Bloom has written a very helpful book that directly applies lean and Six Sigma thinking to the HR function.

Corporate departments from IT to HR try to avoid Six Sigma by saying: 'Oh that works for manufacturing, but it won't work in HR because we don't manufacture anything.' Daniel Bloom lays bare the silliness of that statement. Six Sigma can be applied to any business process and Dan shows how easy it can be to apply Six Sigma to HR. If you want to get the 'right people on the bus', Six Sigma is the way to do it.-Jay Arthur, Author of Lean Six Sigma Demystified and The QI Macros for Excel
