 CEO'S DREAM BOOK FOR MANAGING BUSINESS PROCESSESMar 19, 2005
By Billy L. Cooper
"OLD WORLD DME, INC."
I have read a few hundred "non-fictional" books over the years for my MBA, for quality, etc, but I have to tell you that this book about the use of balanced scorecards is the best business related book that I have ever read, and I feel that every CEO should completely absorb it to utilize its "pertinent" applications that are applicable to their business processes, thus institutionalizing the process metrics' continual improvement concepts of ISO/TS 16949:2002 and ISO 9001 in all types of firms, including those that are not automotive suppliers!- Bill Cooper, Global Quality Systems Senior Manager, Lear Corporation

Connects the six sigma dots with your own business senseDec 01, 2003
By Garrett Swanson
This book connected the dots between my undergrad, mba, six sigma training and 25 years of business sense. Your first reaction might be; why haven't I been tracking and measuring the critical links to growth/profitability more closely? Once I started the book, I couldn't put it down; it was like therapy for the business mind. It breaks through all the mystery and jargon of TQM, ISO 9000 and six sigma, in simple business terms.

The Best Six Sigma Book I've ReadFeb 01, 2006
By Ronan C. Rodrigues
I am writing to congratulate you for your outstanding work on the book you have written about the Six Sigma Business Scorecard. I have spent the past week reading it, and I've realized what a fantastic tool it is.
I am a Six Sigma Intern, and I work at Recofarma, a Concentrate Plant of the Coca Cola Company, located in Manaus, Amazonas - Brazil. I was trying to create a Massive Communication Plan for Six Sigma within the company and one of my ideas was to create a Scorecard for Six Sigma, then I looked for related material at Amazon.com and your book appeared on the top of the list. It surely was a great investment.

Finally, a pragmatic approach to developing a Business Scorecard that captures the profitability proposition through periodic measurement of critical performance. The critical thinking used to construct and evaluate each element of the hierachical measurement structure provides a keen insight into the contribution value of each functional area of the business. The concise step-by-step approach in building the overal Business Performance Index provides the guidance necessary for immediate implementation by small or large enterprizes.

Good Tie In Bewteen Six Sigma and Balanced ScorecardFeb 12, 2009
By Edward J. Barton
Good attempt at connecting in a practical way Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard approaches. The two management tools are connected by a common focus on metrics and management of process - and provide a logical operational and strategic framework for business. My one wish would be that the book include more practical examples of the implementation and measurements of the Business Scorecard and Indexing processes. The discussion is very good, and the concepts relatively straightforward - however a few practical examples or case studies would go a long way to improve understanding of the materials.
