Unfortunately, Lean Six Sigma organizational process deployments often are not long-lasting. The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) was created to address this problem. IEE Volume I provides a description of the benefits of the IEE system in a golfing story format in which four MBA friends discuss process improvement while playing golf. IEE Volume II describes the 9-step IEE business management system, which among other things uses an IEE value chain to align 30,000-foot-level predictive scorecards with the processes that created them. IEE Volume II also describes the details of determining where lean Six Sigma improvement projects should focus so that the business as a whole benefits.  Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume III describes the roadmap details for executing improvement efforts so that the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are important to the business can be improved with a demonstrated long-lasting enhanced response resulting in business-as-a-whole benefit.
