Businesses can benefit from Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Lean Kaizen events, ISO, Malcolm Baldrige Award, Shingo Prize, etc. However, these problem-solving or assessment methodologies do not provide a business framework so that organizations can move toward achieving the three Rs of business; i.e., everybody doing the Right things and doing them Right at the Right time.

The problem-solving-methodologies of Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, and Lean Kaizen events can provide organizational-silo-benefits; however, organizations can be claiming that they saved 100 million dollars but nobody can find the money. Black Belts in Lean Six Sigma and Six Sigma deployments are to execute important business projects; however, often these projects are silo-based and do not benefit the business as a whole. ISO, Malcolm Baldrige Award, and Shingo Prize each provide techniques to view the organization as a whole; however, these methodologies do not prescriptively provide a framework for businesses to have long-lasting gains from the principles described in the application criteria.

Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) is a business system that builds upon past-methodologies' strengths. IEE provides a long-lasting framework that can be used to incorporate the Malcolm Baldrige Award, Shingo Prize, and ISO criteria.

Written as a novel, Integrated Enterprise Excellence, Volume I The Basics, helps managers, leaders, practitioners, and others understand the basics of the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) system. It relates the story of four friends who share their experiences while playing golf. They see how they can improve their games in both business and golf using a system that goes beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard.

The IEE system is a set of management techniques that embeds best practices derived from the strengths of past systems - applying structured metrics and a no nonsense roadmap to initiate process improvement and achieve predictable and sustainable bottom-line benefits..

Ben Hogan’s former ball shagger recounts firsthand stories of the golf legend—and reveals, for the first time, Hogan’s Swing Secret, a source of mystery to golfers for more than fifty years.

Ben Hogan’s pro-golf record is legendary A four-time PGA Player of the Year, he celebrated sixty-three tournament wins and became known as a man of few words and fewer close friends. Most of what we know about Hogan has been based on myth and speculation. Until now.

In the 1960’s, though Hogan’s competitive career was over, he kept the practice habits that had made him famous and remade modern competitive golf. He hired fifteen-year-old Jody Vasquez to help. Each day, after driving to a remote part of the course at the Shady Oaks Country Club, Hogan would spend hours hitting balls, and Vasquez would retrieve them. There, and over the course of their twenty-year friendship, Hogan taught Jody the mechanics of his famous swing and shared his thoughts on playing, practicing, and course management—unknowingly revealing much about his character, values, and beliefs, and the events that shaped them.

In Afternoons with Mr. Hogan, Jody Vasquez shares dozens of stories about Hogan, from the way he practiced, selected his clubs, and interacted with other star players to his little-known humor and generosity. Combining the gentle insight of Tom Kite’s A Fairway to Heaven (which recalls Kite’s golf education under Harvey Penick) with the sage perspective of Penick’s own Little Red Book, Vasquez’s tribute is funny, poignant, and full of advice for golfers of all levels.

Many have written lyrically about the wonders of golf in Scotland and its inherent magic, which is the focus of the second half of Michael Bamberger's lovely ode to the game. But it's the book's first half that makes it as essential as a putter for anyone willing to go deeper into golf's heart. Here, Bamberger explores the eternal mystery of golf: "More than any other athlete, the professional golfer looks normal; his physical ordinariness is a ubiquitous reminder of our limitations. So what makes him so special?" He searches for his answers the hard way: he lugs a golf bag around for a season as a caddie on the European tour. Even if the golfing grail he sought remains elusive, his narrative drives straight into the game's psyche through a colorful, witty, and poignant portrait of his months on the fairways with Peter Teravainen, the practicing Buddhist, Yale-graduate journeyman grinder whose bag he toted. .
