Business Terraforming
The term “Business Terraforming” was coined by Dr. Mikel J. Harry, the Co-Creator and Chief Architect of Six Sigma. Mikel was an action and science fiction movie buff and viewed terraforming as “Radical Change.” While Six Sigma had been successful in “Revolutionizing the World’s Top Corporations,” Mikel believed strongly that even more radical change in the way we do business was needed. Mikel had not refined his thinking, but he used the term and expressed the need for radical change in the way business is done frequently.

The useful ideas of eliminating waste and driving greater efficiency can pick up a negative spin associated with perceptions of job cuts, employees doing more with less, and managers squeezing more productivity from each person. None of that sounds very joyful."
