3M's top-down approach to Six Sigma implementation was initially met with concern that it would be too rigid for 3M's culture but the cost savings and efficiency improvements were seen as positive, this positivity was soon replaced by concerns that Six Sigma would adversely impact 3M's creativity in product design and other initiatives. A challenge in widely implementing Six Sigma at 3M was, in addition to concerns of it potentially inhibiting the organization's creative side, the fact that normally large scale cultural changes (such as those necessitated by an organization-wide implementation of Six Sigma) are met with resistance from its members due to the fact that the culture at 3M absent of Six Sigma was felt to be the way they had always done things and that they had been successful in the past
