Latest event:
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Using Six Sigma
by Gary Warden
Sponsored by BHP Billiton
Gary Warden has almost a decade of experience in Six Sigma and for four years was Global Manager for BHP Billiton's Six Sigma program.
The first part of Gary's presentation drew on Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" slideshow which clearly demonstrates why climate change is such an urgent global issue. Gary included the most recent scientific findings, and presented data and evidence relevant to Western Australia. The second part covered ways in which Six Sigma can be used by companies to help mitigate their major climate change risks and help them adapt to the reality of climate change.
This was certainly a somewhat sobering account of the current state of our environment, which had the audience discussing various aspects well past the close.
