Greece Lean Six Sigma: Our Logo and Lean Philosophy
At Greece Lean Six Sigma, our logo is more than just a design—it’s a visual representation of the core principles that underpin our philosophy and training approach. The triangle pointing towards the right is a universally recognized symbol of movement and progress. This design element reflects the dynamic flow inherent in Lean Six Sigma methodologies, a set of principles we utilize to help businesses optimize their processes and maximize value.
The symbol is inspired by the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, whose famous phrase Panta Rhei translates to “everything changes”. We have adopted this philosophy in our approach to Lean Six Sigma, which emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and value flow. In both life and business, change is inevitable, and processes must evolve to meet the demands of the market and customers.
Lean Six Sigma aligns perfectly with this idea of change. Taiichi Ohno, the architect of the Toyota Production System, focused on one crucial goal: to flow only value to customers. He envisioned a fast, even-flowing river where there are no dams or rapids—nothing to impede or accelerate the flow of value. This concept is embedded in our logo, where the combination of triangles and trapezoids creates a sense of balance and stability while simultaneously representing the constant progress and flow that Lean Six Sigma advocates.
Why Our Logo Matters
The elements of our logo are rich in meaning, each representing key Lean Six Sigma values like efficiency, balance, and continuous improvement. At Greece Lean Six Sigma, we aim to help businesses in Greece—and beyond—achieve operational excellence through expertly designed training and consulting services.
Our logo is not just a visual element but a testament to our commitment to providing our clients with tools that will help them streamline processes, reduce waste, and ultimately improve their bottom line. It embodies the essence of Lean Six Sigma’s focus on achieving a harmonious balance between stability and change—an equilibrium that fosters sustainable improvement.
The triangle pointing to the right signifies forward motion, while the trapezoids add a sense of proportion, demonstrating that Lean Six Sigma is both an art and a science—a disciplined approach to improving business processes, but one that remains flexible enough to adapt to changing needs.
Inspiration behind our logo
The inspiration for our logo comes from the doctrine of Heraclitus, who famously said “Panta Rhei”, meaning “everything changes” or “life is flux.” This aligns perfectly with our understanding of Lean Six Sigma, where change and adaptation are integral to the process of continuous improvement. Just as Heraclitus believed in the ever-changing nature of the world, we embrace change in our training programs, helping businesses adjust and evolve through Lean Six Sigma principles.
Taiichi Ohno, one of the founders of the Toyota Production System, had a vision of a seamless, continuous flow—a river free of dams and rapids. In Lean Six Sigma, we aim to eliminate barriers to flow, ensuring that value is delivered to customers without unnecessary obstacles or delays. Our logo represents this perfect balance—stable yet constantly moving forward.
The triangles and trapezoids in our logo reflect a sense of stability and balance in the human mind. Triangles represent strength, direction, and focus—qualities that are central to the Lean Six Sigma methodology. The trapezoids, on the other hand, symbolize movement, adaptability, and efficiency, showing that Lean Six Sigma is a dynamic and evolving process that always strives for improvement.
