A High Bar

• Cecila Shallenberger is a Black Belt at TRW
  Systems, a defense and government contractor. We
  received this email from her
• I trust all is well with you.  All is well here.
• I realize Six Sigma is all about teamwork, but
  just this once I thought I'd brag just a little. 
  I certainly do realize that the following could
  not have been accomplished without the help of
  many, many people.
• I closed 10 charters last year, total benefit
  11.84M (although the books show a conservative
  10.6M).  62 GBs were trained, and 44 of those
  were certified.  So far this year, I've got 5
  charters in process, and 5 being drafted as we
  speak.  3 of those include the customer as GBs on
  the teams.
• I have about 32 people left on the TCS contract
  to get onto charters and through training.  GBs
  are kicking down my door wanting to lead
  charters.
• This year, my focus is on creating a lead GB
  community with 3 BBs being mentored - they will
  lead the charters, I will lead them.  As you can
  see, we're doing well.   I'm now going after my
  BB certification through ASQ to compliment the
  TRW cert.
• My thanks go to you for your inspiration. You've
  created a monster!!!
