  Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, Doug. I hear your point and do agree how "Interested Parties" is more inclusive of other potential groups, but I still favor shareholders here. My reason is because I purposely wanted to be less ambiguous and not inclusive by using the term "shareholders".
  
  As a "corporate" drilldown, it reflects a more corporate structure and is more distinctive from customers and employees who may be interested parties but who are already separately identified in this drilldown and intentionally distinct from these owners. Plus, shareholders are the business owners, so I believe it can also easily translate to smaller non-publicly traded companies. Granted, this drilldown model is not intended to fit 100% of organizations, but is meant to be a model or guideline so that folks can adapt it to their own organization and whatever framework best supports them.
  
  Regardless, thanks for checking it out and providing your insightful feedback!

  Hi Matt,
  
  I agree that Shareholders are important but this does not apply to all organizations. There is a term in the certification industry (i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.) that is used - INTERESTED PARTIES - that may be a better term to consider. Interested parties are the shareholders, business owners, employees, neighbours, etc. I agree that projects that affect the 'bottom line' are of prime importance, but I don't think we should exclude projects that can have a positive impact of key indicators for these other interested parties. Thoughts?

  Diane, sorry you were having trouble with that. I just tested it now by clicking the "View Slides" link and it works fine. It creates a pop-up window that streams the slide content used in the videos.
  
  If you're not seeing the pop-up window, it may be because pop-ups are blocked in your browser. You can either try unblocking pop-ups in that browser or try a different browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or IE).
  
  If you get a pop-up but don't see the streaming slides, then it may mean you don't have access to view content from SlideBoom.com (the site that hosts the slides). To test that, try opening a new tab or window to directly go to SlideBoom.com. If you can't access that site, then perhaps it's restricted. You may need to contact your Web Administrator and ask them to "white list" SlideBoom.com for you so that you can access it.
  
  The last thing I'd try is to see if you can access another video and click on the "View Slides" link there. If that has the same problem, then it must be a connection issue on your end. But if you can access it, then it may be a problem in the link on my site.
  
  If none of these help, then please send me a direct email with details about the error you're encountering. You can send a message from the Contact Us page here: http://statstuff.com/about/contactus.

  Hi Matt-
  
  I logged in, but was unable to see anything displayed when I went to view slides for CTQ Drilldown Intermediate.
  
  Thanks,

  Thanks Eve. No, there was no toe-stepping here. :) I really appreciate your feedback and am aware of the music issues. It is on my to-do list to hopefully fix in the near future. The music does get softer in the later videos so although it's not completely gone yet, it should make it a little easier to hear. Thanks for your checking out StatStuff!

  Yuuuup,
  
  Thanks Matt for this wonderful information! Am happy to have got this information, however, the only challenge is the music in the back ground! As you notice, many people "....." focus best when it silent but listening to the training video and then the music, makes it so hard! Hopefully I dint step your toe.
  '
  Oh how I wish you eliminate the music , it will be awesome, incredible and Super.
  
  Thanks Matt.. Will continue reading but finding difficulties with focusing.
  Blessings
  
  Eve

  Thanks so much for the great feedback, Wesley. I'm so glad the book has been a great resources as you learn LSS. And the videos may be starting & stopping because of the internet connection speeds. I recently set them up to download HD quality when possible, so the extra data to download may be causing some sluggishness on slower connections.

  Matt,
  
  Sometimes, the videos stop and start again. The videos work and just take a little awhile to complete them.
  
  I am following your book right now with the videos. It helps me retained the information alot better. When I went through your videos the first times in the beginner level, I was too busy taking notes. What a big mistake that I did!!!
  
  Now, I am so thankful to have your book. It is just a great investment. I have learned to think more strategically about business performance metrics from just watching this video.
  
  Now, I understand that you are teaching us how to think strategically about the business rather than just memorizing tools and techniques.
  
  Thanks a bunch, Matt.

  Sorry you are having trouble accessing the videos. They seem to be working fine so I think the problem may be your inability to access Vimeo.com, the site that hosts the StatStuff videos. If you can, please check out the video troubleshooting page that can walk you through ways to find the problem: https://www.statstuff.com/about/misc-information/video-troubleshooting. If you continue to have troubles with it, then please submit a note with the details about the error here: https://www.statstuff.com/about/contactus. Thanks!

  Hello, all videos seem to be inaccessible? Please check, thank you!

  Gowrish, thanks for the feedback! Sorry you're having trouble with the slides. I hadn't heard of any problems with them lately and just confirmed now that they're working fine. When clicking on the link, it opens a new window, so I wonder if pop-ups are being disabled? If that's not it, can you try opening them from another browser? I just confirmed they work in Chrome. If the problem persists, then feel free to email me (http://www.statstuff.com/about/contactus) more details such as browser type, which training video won't display the slides, or any other details that may help. Thanks!
