I'm a MOD: Conversations about personal excellence

Dear Reader! Welcome to the world of MOD – the Master of Personal Excellence. As you embark on this journey, you might wonder, "What does MOD stand for?" MOD encapsulates a spectrum of meanings, each contributing to the essence of this transformative concept. Modification in Pursuit of Excellence: MOD signifies a commitment to constant refinement and improvement. Like a malleable sculpture, a MOD is ever-ready for modifications, adapting and evolving to achieve personal excellence. A Lifestyle that Embraces Change: MOD is not just a term; it's a lifestyle. Embracing change with open arms, a MOD navigates through the dynamic currents of life, turning challenges into opportunities for growth. Mastering the Art of Adaptation: In a world where flexibility is paramount, MOD exemplifies the mastery of adaptation. It's the ability to seamlessly adjust to different situations, much like a chameleon changing its colors. Music on Demand for Personal Growth: Just as we seek 'Music on Demand' for instant melodies, a MOD seeks personal growth on demand. It's a relentless pursuit of self-improvement, harmonizing life's experiences into a symphony of success. Managing Opportunities Dynamically: MOD extends beyond a mere acronym; it embodies the art of managing opportunities dynamically. It's a proactive approach to life, steering one's course with purpose and foresight. Molding One's Own Destiny: MOD is about taking control of your destiny. It's a conscious effort to shape and mold your life, making choices that align with personal values and aspirations. As you delve into the pages of this book, remember that MOD is not just a title; it's a philosophy. It's a call to embrace change, pursue excellence, and orchestrate the masterpiece of your life. So, join us on this transformative journey, and declare proudly, "I'm MOD!" As you open the pages of this book, you step into a world where excellence and efficiency walk hand in hand. I share with you my passion and knowledge about Lean Six Sigma[1]. Within these pages, I'll guide you through the labyrinth of methods and strategies that will help you become a true MOD in your personal and professional life. I conducted my first Lean Six Sigma training for payment back in 2007. Prior to that, I spent many years as an internal trainer in various problem-solving domains within different companies. Hundreds of training days and thousands of questions from participants compelled me to redefine the way we perceive Lean Six Sigma. Finally, the time came when I decided to share my knowledge and experience with the world. I want this approach to be in the hearts of as many people as possible, inspiring us daily to be exemplary providers. Here, I present to you the story of conversations with one of the participants in my training – Magda. During the training, I typically begin by introducing unique concepts of utility, delta equal to zero[2], and feedback value – key aspects that the Master of Personal Excellence (MOD) pays attention to. We then proceed to examples, tasks, and a panel discussion. After the training, Magda expressed many doubts and questions, prompting me to propose a series of additional meetings where we could delve deeper into all of them. The result is this record of our discussions, during which Magda discovered the essence of utility and the success of personal excellence based on the application of Lean Six Sigma concepts in everyday life.
