Rochester, NY, December 10, 2009 — The Great Discovery, developed by the co-creator of Six Sigma, Dr. Mikel J. Harry, is a universal process that advances human achievement. Management system provider, The Great Discovery, and learning solutions provider, Element K, announce a partnership for training center channel distribution of The Great Discovery’s Practitioner Program.

The Great Discovery is a time-tested way of systematic thinking that can be used to better unify and focus the efforts of individuals and work teams to increase their odds of achieving breakthrough - in everything they do. As a worldwide, value-added licensee and distributor, Element K will manage the Authorized Training Center partner program as well as provide the instructor-led training courseware and instructor services.

Dr. Harry states, “I built The Great Discovery upon the foundation of Lean Six Sigma. This structured and disciplined way of thinking reflects the pattern of demonstrated leadership beliefs, values, and practices that guides individuals and work teams to breakthrough improvements in a highly actionable, accountable, repeatable and teachable way.”

“Element K is excited to offer this instructional opportunity based upon fourth-generation Six Sigma principles,” said Cheryl Nelan, Vice President of Training Channel Enablement at Element K. “Previous generations of Six Sigma were practiced by only 5% of the workforce and could take an individual years to achieve black belt status. Through our training channel, any person, team or organization can learn and practice The Great Discovery Practitioner Program methodology.”

This three-day course is delivered by The Great Discovery Authorized Training Centers. Courseware and instructor services for The Great Discovery will be available via the Element K Courseware Store at http://www.elementkcourseware.com.
