Common Issues : 

Common Issues Would you like to dramatically improve your ability to innovate, but don't know where to start?  Have you ever considered Six Sigma, Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), or lean but found them too overwhelming or too difficult to implement?  Perhaps you've even attempted implementing these methodologies but found that they were too complicated?  Although these methodologies are very powerful, maybe your organization isn’t ready for such drastic change and just wants to start with some basic but effective improvements.  The Boost™ process was developed with these problems in mind. Based on the same concepts as Six Sigma, DFSS and lean, Boost™ is a proven approach to enable innovation, but much simpler to implement. 3
