About the Program
This valuable learning series is designed to help Lean Six Sigma
project managers (Black Belts and Green Belts) with the aspects of
change management and project management that are critically
important to successful project completion. Participants will
utilize successful tools, techniques and
concepts to help ensure that their Lean Six Sigma projects are
successfully completed with buy-in from those who will maintain the
improvements.
Who Should Attend
Individuals responsible for managing, leading, coordinating and
supporting Lean Six Sigma projects. Additionally, Champions, team
members and sponsors will benefit from learning these basic
concepts, tools and techniques, while practicing through realworld
project simulations.
Performance Focus
One of the core principles of a Lean Six Sigma organization is to
choose the best and brightest process or subject matter experts to
become Lean Six Sigma project managers (Black Belts and Green
Belts) for high-impact, strategically selected projects. Selected
projects are carefully aligned to the annual goals of the
organization and must be successfully completed on time.
While Black Belts and Green Belts are very effective individuals, they usually have had little or no training in the principles of project management or change management. Learning these important aspects of successful project completion through trial and error not only increases project cycle time but also adds an unnecessary burden to an already challenging Lean Six Sigma position.
In this course, you will practice using the tools and techniques
necessary to ensure that a cross-functional team effectively
completes a project on time. These practical skills, concepts and
principles can be taken back to the job and successfully applied to
any Lean Six Sigma
or Design for Six Sigma project.
