The Six Sigma Management Institute was established by Dr. Mikel J. Harry. For over 30 years, we have coached hundreds of companies and trained thousands of individuals both with the purpose of helping them succeed at the highest level of performance in their industries and professional careers. During these highly blend and data-driven times, we believe that each individual should be knowledgeable of the frameworks and the devices required to dive deep into data and re-emerge with valuable information, to help their company and themselves achieve breakthrough improvements. SSMI’s mission is to supply the necessary framework and devices to enable any company to enhance the quality of their goods, services and ultimately to increase the satisfaction of their clients. Historically speaking, Six Sigma has evolved from a quality improvement device in the mid-1980s to a fact-driven system of business management in the 2000s. Over the last 20 years, there have been many events and contributions that have shaped Six Sigma. Even today, the evolution of Six Sigma continues – growing in both power and diversity, throughout the world. We at the Six Sigma Management Institute – SSMI Europe – are proud to carry on the legacy of the mind that improvement one of the most successful methodologies from the post-war, Dr. Mikel J. Harry.
