“What is Six Sigma, and what can it do for eLearningdevelopment?” Six Sigma is a management methodology that is probably unfamiliarto many in the eLearning field, so we asked Karen Soskin to explain it and itsrelationship to our work. Karen Hyder and Mike Sloat interviewed Soskin duringthe Learning Solutions Conference & Expo 2012 in Orlando, Florida.
Karen Soskin has led organizations through change at severalbiopharma companies. She began her career at Miles Laboratories, where she wasinstrumental in the adoption of new technologies.
