Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

An extended programme for those who will lead improvement projects and coach others. Delegates work through the full method with the statistical depth that distinguishes a black belt: measurement system analysis, capability studies, hypothesis testing, regression, designed experiments and control strategy. Equal weight is given to the leadership half of the role, which is where most black belt projects actually fail: securing a sponsor, defining a project that can finish, managing a team the belt does not line manage, and handing over a control plan that the process owner will maintain. Delegates carry a project through the programme.
