What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is not a new methodology.  It has been used by organizations like Motorola, General Electric, and Hyundai Motor Co. for decades to improve quality and processes within their organizations.  Client communication breakdowns and legal process failures are at the core of malpractice lawsuits and complaints to the Bar.  Incorporating a successful tried and true quality enhancement program like Six Sigma into a legal organization, legal role, or legal specific job function will reap both measurable financial and productivity results for those that successfully implement the concepts that are taught in this program.  Learn more about the benefits of Six Sigma for Paralegals,
