			<title><![CDATA[Six Sigma Blogs: Quality Conversations]]></title>
			<link>http://www.sixsigmacompanies.com/archive/quality_conversations.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[On Monday, Sept 14, I'll be speaking with Steve Wilson on his show Quality Conversations, hosted by blogtalkradio. Steve has interviewed many quality professionals in the past, including Tom Kubiak, Forrest Breyfogle, Mark Graban and our very own iSixSigma editor-in-chief, Jessica Harper. I am happy to join the ranks of Steve's guest list. 
We're going to be talking Six Sigma and the Economy... discussing the findings of a recent iSixSigma Magazine research report published in July this year. We'll be talking about serious subjects such as budget cuts, workloads, and job losses as well as more positive aspects the down economy is bringing out in companies practicing Six Sigma.
The conversation is live and open to callers, so if you want to call in and heckle me...go ahead, make my day.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Six Sigma Blogs: A quality bubble?]]></title>
			<link>http://blogs.isixsigma.com/archive/a_quality_bubble.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Gianna Clark notes that several hundred companies began their Six Sigma journeys about seven years ago. 
Is Six Sigma the quality equivalent of a stock market bubble? Are we cheerleaders of an irrational exuberance where performance economics do not match the hype we create? Is Six Sigma on the verge of becoming the next TQM - run over by advances in technology and easier approaches to improving performance? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We’re at it again.  Our latest podcast is ready to download. This podcast features an interview with Steve Walter, Global Talent Director for Ingersoll Rand, and might I dare say the Seinfeld of Six Sigma.  He emceed the Six Sigma Excellence Awards in Miami last month and brought some serious laughter to the Six Sigma crowd.  
I really enjoyed his Six Sigma jokes so I asked him if he wouldn’t mind a short interview for our podcast.  Join us as we chat about making Six Sigma fun and whether or not to bring Six Sigma "home" with you.

			<description><![CDATA[
iSixSigma invites you to listen to the first iSixSigma Magazine Podcast, downloadable at http://www.isixsigma-magazine.com/podcast/.  The iSixSigma Magazine podcasts feature notable results from the research study in each issue as well as interviews with Six Sigma practitioners and commentary on Six Sigma.  
For those new to podcasting, a podcast is an audio file published to the internet and usually accessed by an RSS feed.  For those new to RSS, an RSS feed is similar to an email, only you receive it through an RSS reader and you only receive notification when a new podcast is ready for download.  
If you’ve got an iPod, the easiest way to subscribe is through iTunes.  Download the first podcast "Starting-up Six Sigma" and listen to it at your desk, in the car or during your next flight.  Thanks for lending us your ear!  ]]></description>
