038 Does ‘quality’ improve effectiveness? (rerun)

In this episode, I interview Ankit Patel, Managing Director at The Lean Way Consulting. Ankit is an entrepreneur and Lean Six Sigma expert who I have come to know through a mutual acquaintance. I asked Ankit to come on the show to provide a view on how ‘quality’ can improve organizational performance, including efficiency and effectiveness.

I have titled this episode “Does ‘quality’ improve effectiveness?” The quick answer is “yes and no”. While quality is mostly about internal efficiency improvements, including reducing waste and defects in processes, a proper determination of “the voice of the customer” can have an impact on effectiveness.
