I am also interested in the interface between Organisation Development and Six Sigma, in both private and public sectors.

OD and Six Sima or Lean
Anne-Marie Harrison, UK
We found that the impact of Lean and Six Sigma was greatly increased when we added training on change management. Until then some great ideas came up and were part implemented, but not fully integrated into day to day work; once there was a better understanding of how to introduce and sustain change, there was a great deal more commitment from those implicated by the changes.

No Six Sigma or Lean without prior OD
pradeep deo, Strategy Consultant, India
For lean or six sigma, organizational development is the first action. Without this six sigma or lean will not be sustainable. I tried to implement six sigma and lean but prior to that i had to spent about one year effort in organizational development particularly the development of employees and trade unions.

Dear Mary, you can combine LSS with Organisation Behavioural Management (OBM).
We do this regularly with our clients fulfilling a need to manage lean transformations. Organizational Behavior Management focuses on specific concerns such as:
- Employee safety
- Employee training
- Stress, health, and employee productivity
- Evaluation of employee satisfaction and feedback systems
- Managing absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover
- Use of monetary and non-monetary incentives
- Self-management procedures
- Programmed instruction, behavioral modeling, and computer-aided instruction.
