Dr. Mikel Harry, the world renowned creator of ‘Six Sigma’, has now made ‘Six Sigma’ training affordable to all with the launch of ‘MindPro’.™ Used for years with great success by the world's top companies---companies like General Electric, Allied Signal, and Ford to name a few---’Six Sigma’ is deemed by many as the premier process excellence program. ‘Six Sigma’ revolutionized business, now ‘MindPro’ is revolutionizing Six Sigma.
The development of ‘MindPro’ was a two year undertaking by Dr. Harry, who "ate, slept and drank" the mission of putting comprehensive ‘Six Sigma’ training on a three DVD software set and making it the most flexible and affordable ‘Six Sigma’ process improvement training system available on the market. Historically, ‘Six Sigma’ training has cost up to $12,000 a person and was affordable for only large companies. Dr. Harry's ‘MindPro’ software starts at a price of $895 per person and goes down based on volume purchases.
What led Dr. Harry, who has personally trained the who's who of corporate leadership, to develop ‘MindPro’? According to Dr. Harry, "large companies have had such great success with Six Sigma, I kept asking myself how do we make it affordable for businesses of all sizes, even individuals who want to enhance their professional credentials. My vision was to see Six Sigma not only used by a very small percentage of a Fortune 100 company's workforce, but to be made simple and affordable enough to be implemented at all levels of an organization so all employees could benefit from this proven training.”
In the past, professional training was offered in a classroom environment, where individuals would need to be taken off the job for up to 160 hours of intensive training. Companies would lose valuable work time, incur large training expenses and the instructional content was often inconsistent because it was being taught by sixth and seventh generation trainers. The beauty of the ‘MindPro’ software, apart from its remarkable affordability, is that all the training is provided by the father of ‘Six Sigma’, Dr. Mikel Harry. Utilizing crisply shot five minute video clips in an OTES (over the expert's shoulder) teaching method, the student receives all of the training from the person who designed the system, so one knows the message is not only consistent but correct.
Dr. Harry's ‘MindPro’ learning system is so flexible that training can be done at home, after work, on weekends, in airports or anywhere else. Dr. Harry likes to say that with ‘MindPro’, "Six Sigma training is on demand--- anytime or anywhere." In addition to offering the most comprehensive ‘Six Sigma’ curriculum on the market, the ‘MindPro’ software contains a myriad of additional bonus features including a three thousand page statistical handbook, online help forums and a digital training project. Difficulties of past ‘Six Sigma’ training methods occurred because trainees were required to complete a project in which they apply the lessons learned to a practical application. Often times a project would either not be available or the difficulty of the project would vary so greatly that the playing field would not be equal for all. With ‘MindPro’ those problems are solved.
Perhaps the coup de grace is that once ‘MindPro’ users complete the courses, they can become ‘Six Sigma’ certified by Dr. Harry's own Six Sigma Management Institute (SSMI), offering a wonderful credential to anyone trained in ‘Six Sigma’ principles. The training curriculum and certification exams are endorsed by Arizona State University, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Korean Standard Association and others.
At first it sounds too good to be true! ‘Six Sigma’ made more affordable and designed for businesses of any size, even individuals. But then Dr. Mikel Harry has never been your ordinary guy; he's always been kind of an innovator and industry leader who likes being told something can't be done. He first revolutionized business with ‘Six Sigma’. Now Dr. Harry's revolutionized ‘Six Sigma’ with ‘MindPro’. Who knows what he'll do next.
