WHERE THE SIX SIGMA STORY BEGAN....
Joy's Six Sigma story starts with her grandfather walking through the doors of Eli Lilly and Company. One day in 1957, he found a flawed animal feeder that wasted animal feed. His drive to find a better way led him to fix that feeder. In fact, his invention is recognized in the Lilly Museum!
Three decades later, Joy walked through those same doors and, within a year, identified a tank dispenser wasting gallons of product. Her drive to find a better way led her to fix that tank.
Two generations. Two machines.
One common thread: see what's broken, and find a better way.
Now Joy carries that same drive forward not to fix an animal feeder or tank dispenser, but to create better paths for people to grow in confidence, gain valuable skills, lead data-driven solutions, and advance their careers.
That is the legacy she is building through SixSigmaIndy.
Why Six Sigma?
Our goal is to equip barrier-breaking professionals with more opportunities for greater leadership, impact and economic mobility.
We believe that Six Sigma is an ideal method for combining community voice, process thinking, and data analysis to open doors and bridge gaps.
Who We Train
We train those who experience significant opportunity gaps and the least legacy benefits.
Opportunity refers to being selected, encouraged or sponsored for career advancement and professional development.
Opportunity also includes equal pay for equal work.
Legacy benefit refers to the ability to achieve unencumbered economic mobility across multiple generations, regardless of education, experience, or other demographic traits.
While each person has a unique experience, countless studies reveal specific groups tend to experience the most significant career opportunity gaps, despite strong performance, and the least legacy benefits, regardless of education level or experience.
