Well, quite a lot. For instance, how people who can not even spell Six-Sigma, were one of the earliest to attain Six-Sigma rating without a single manager, while organizations run by thousands of managers struggle in vain, to claim such fancy tags Mumbai's Dabbawalas - An Entrepreneurial Success Story
or how people like Michael Dell, who did not even complete their undergrads, let alone business management, succeed by breaking every rule in any B-School book and eventually enter B-School books as case studies. ("He began his business tinkering with machines in his University of Texas dorm room, and a mere eight years later cracked the FORTUNE 500, making him, at 27, the youngest FORTUNE 500 CEO ever. Doubters said his company would never challenge the big boys, that his model wouldn't work overseas, that he couldn't sell servers and he has proved them wrong every time.")
I read a long time back that one Mumbai Dabbawala was invited to one IIM to lecture the aspiring managers. I don't know what he lectured on though... Was it on Six-Sigma? or was it on Common-Sense? or was it on KISS?

Dabbawalla's are great!!!
michael dell might have started a company even without graduating but he hires only graduates from top engineering schools and managers from even top business schools to run his business. same with the 'harvard' dropout bill gates.
