The Power of 7: Because One More is One Better
Process improvement just got an upgrade. The Power of 7 takes everything you love about Lean Six Sigma and makes it one better—because why stop at six when you can go to seven?
April 1, 2024 | Columbus, Ohio — For years, process improvement professionals have been trapped in a cycle of stagnation. Lean Six Sigma promised efficiency, excellence, and the relentless pursuit of perfection—but what if it wasn't enough? What if there was a better way to make things better?
The time for minor tweaks is over. ISSISSIPPI is proud to introduce the next evolution in process improvement—a revolutionary framework that doesn't just improve processes. It improves the process of improving process improvement.
Lean Six Sigma has guided countless businesses to fewer defects, streamlined operations, and data-driven decision-making. But what if we added one more?
- One more day to complete your project (because improvement shouldn't be rushed).
- One more member for your team (because two heads are good, but seven is better).
- One more sigma (because 3.4 defects per million opportunities is so last century).
For decades, Lean Six Sigma has relied on the DMAIC methodology—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. But with The Power of 7, we're breaking free from tradition. Our innovative approach introduces a game-changing enhancement: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve… and then Add One More. Why settle for five steps when you could have seven?
With The Power of 7, every tool you know and love is now one better. Kaizen events are more powerful, leptokurtic distributions are even sharper, and Pearson's Coefficient of Skewness is now 16.67% more skewed. Even the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test benefits from the power of seven—though we're still waiting for statisticians to confirm why.
Think about it, every legendary framework has evolved—Six Sigma, Agile, even rock bands. The Beatles didn't stop at six, did they? No. They added Ringo. And look what happened.

A common question from skeptics (and Lean Six Sigma purists) is, "Why not just improve Lean Six Sigma?" The answer is simple: because this goes to seven. Lean Six Sigma has served its purpose, but true continuous improvement means knowing when to level up. Why settle for incremental updates when you can completely reinvent the game? The Power of 7 isn't just an enhancement—it's a paradigm shift. It's bigger, bolder, and unnecessarily more complicated, just as all great innovations should be. If six was good enough, we'd all still be driving six-wheeled cars, watching six-episode seasons, and playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon instead of the far superior Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
