Case Study: Dow Chemical Company doubles adoption and streamlines global Six Sigma collaboration with MindManager

Dow: Integrating Curriculum at the Dow Six Sigma Expertise Center

DOW, led by Master Black Belt Chris Haney, needed a single, easy-to-adopt tool to standardize ideation, brainstorming and project planning across its global Six Sigma curriculum and thousands of distributed employees. To address inconsistent use of Visio and PowerPoint and to simplify virtual and in-person meeting management, DOW selected MindManager (Mindjet’s platform) as the vendor solution.

MindManager was integrated into DOW’s Six Sigma methodology, using visualization and dialogue-mapping to capture real-time input, standardize communications and deliver targeted training through MindManager’s Customer Success Team. The result was clearer, more efficient global meetings and project planning — license growth rose from about 511 in 2002 to roughly 3,000 active users by 2012 (nearly doubling since 2007), and adoption spread organically across the company.
