AB  - While  Lean  doesn't  require  many  tools  other  than  a  pad  of  Post-it  Notes,  Six  Sigma  thrives  on  charts,  graphs,  and  diagrams  of  performance  data.  At  the  Institute  for  Healthcare  Improvement  (IHI)  Conference  in  2015,  Don  Berwick  asked  everyone  to  recommit  to  improvement  science—control  charts,  Pareto  charts,  and  histograms  of  performance.  He  sounded  annoyed  with  the  lack  of  use  of  Lean  Six  Sigma  tools  and  methodologies.  I  understand  his  frustration.  I  was  there  in  2006  when  he  asked  everyone  to  "pledge  allegiance  to  science  and  evidence."  Over  the  years,  I've  done  a  stroke  tally  of  the  quality  tools  used  in  IHI  poster  presentations.  I  gave  each  poster  one  check-mark  for  each  type  of  tool  used  (Figure  7.1).
