Before we can manage other people, we must be able to manage ourselves! Before we ask other people to change, we must be able to adapt to change.

We live in a world of constant change. Instant communication and global economies and markets require individuals and organizations to change the way we operate and the way we do business. Managing change is an important tool in the Six Sigma process.
