My blog has gotten a lot of traffic since Thursday as people search for “30 rock jack welch” after his “acting” appearance on the show, and they're finding this blog post from 2006.

I try to keep things light on the weekends here… I'm posting a picture that the NBC website has from an episode from 2008 or 2009 where Liz and Jack went to a GE Six Sigma event called “Retreat to Move Forward.”

The poster below shows the schedule for their Six Sigma retreat. Very funny stuff (hard to read in this picture). “DFSS in the age of DMAIC” as a breakout… “handshakefulness.”  Ha!
