Descriptive statistics are a goldmine for process improvement. They help you move from “I think there’s a problem” to “Here’s exactly what’s wrong and how often it happens.”
Long ago I was a Certified Quality Engineer and a Six Sigma Black Belt, but my career came to an end 23 years ago due to disability. Now I write movie reviews on Substack, but it gave me a lot of happiness to come across this post and discover someone who can simplify statistics for people. I subscribed. Thanks for what you are doing here. I look forward to seeing more.
Really pleased to meet someone who has some love for quality and lean improvement.
I noticed that one of the biggest drivers of the resistance we face when we try to make people or teams improve is that people don’t even understand because we tend to make things a little complex.
I decided to always “cut the fluff” and let people see everything around improvement for what they actually are.
If we didn’t have all that complex lingo, how would we explain things?
Right on, my friend! You know, itʼs even that way with movie reviewers. So busy using their cinematic terminology to show off their insider credentials that they alienate the average movie viewer. I too like to cut the fluff and say hey this is good and this isnʼt and here's why. I think every field probably has ten or more experts who canʼt explain their expertise to an average person for every one who can. Good to meet you too, Tomiwa!
