059: New Year, New Strategy: Mastering Resolutions with Six Sigma

Summary

In this episode, Tanner and Wyatt discuss the importance of setting goals and making resolutions for personal growth and success. They introduce the DMAIC framework, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. They explore how this framework can be applied to personal goals (not just Lean Six Sigma) and how to determine the current state and ideal future state. They emphasize the importance of measuring progress, setting specific and measurable goals, and creating a support network. They also discuss the challenges of consistency and execution, and the need for buy-in from others. The episode concludes with a reminder to align goals with meaning and purpose.
