Larson's approach is based on the seven key elements of Six Sigma: * Focus on customer satisfaction * Use of data and systems * Setting improvement goals * Team approach * Employee involvement * Defining roles * Personal growth Field-proven in organizations of all types, Larson's methodology can help any company make quality a real and viable strategic objective." - from Amzon
