2/13/19 QI Macros Webinar

Almost 80 people signed up for this webinar, with Jay Arthur demonstrating how to use some of the useful features of QI Macros, as well as some of the new features introduced in recent versions of the software.

Isn’t it time to start doing the same thing with Lean Six Sigma? Not amplification, but acceleration?
