Success Story: Free Radicals of Innovation DVD

Fits very well with the 'Improve' step of DMAIC.

The Free Radicals of Innovation training materials from the Innovation Center are flexible and thought provoking. We use them in our intensive Lean Sigma training program; the Free Radicals content fits very well with the 'Improve' step of the DMAIC approach. The Free Radicals video is very positively received by participants and is a useful discussion stimulator. I find the materials easy to use and the exercises are great for energetic break-outs.
