Sex Sigma vs 6



Here is the new, more acceptable Six Sigma logo. "Quality is like sex. Everyone wants it, but few people get it", that's what a friend and one-time mentor (now CEO of MyBiz) once said. I have never been able to dispute that. There are just as many sex therapists as there are quality management gurus to remedy the many who fail to have sex and companies that fail in quality management. The companies I work for all fail their quality programs and for me, it's always the other guys who have all the luck with the hot chicks. Both quality and sex have many terms by which people refer to them - Six Sigma, QCC, Shag, Copulate for example. Both quality and sex have so many stuffs written about them and there are just as many 101 Ways of Enjoying Sex books, articles and websites as there are 101 Ways of Improving Quality in Your Company books. More similarities:

1. I don’t “get” either one.
2. They both have a measure phase.
3. People have used both to pay their bills. (pls check with Motorola if people have used sex to pay their Six Sigma bills).
4. Exciting at first, then disappointing.
5. Lies, myths and exaggerations are rampant.
6. They both make me sleepy.

One difference between the two - in business institutions there are quality programs such as Six Sigma program or QCC, but we don't have sex programs in our marriage institutions. Another difference - after the initial arousal and excitement, quality programs die off without ever reaching climax, but with sex and good play you can get multiple orgasm and spiritual fulfillment.

Lesson from experience - use of the term "Sex Sigma" (or similar terms) to describe a Six Sigma quality program indicates the term users have rejected the Six Sigma program. If you start hearing such terms around your company, then you can conclude your Six Sigma program is being rejected within your company.

When that happens, it is time to use a more acceptable logo (such as the one shown above) for your Sex Sigma program. With sex being the most searched topic on the Internet by Malaysians, you can't go wrong with Sex Sigma as a successful program in your company.
