Performance Focus

One of the core principles of a Six Sigma organization is to choose the best and brightest process or subject matter experts to become Six Sigma project managers (Black, Belts and Green belts) for high –impact, strategically selected projects. These 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. Learning these important aspects of project completion through trial and error not only increase project cycle time but also adds an unnecessary burden to an already challenging Six sigma position. This course makes the six sigma professionals practically and realistically effective.

In this course participants will practice using the tools and techniques necessary to ensure 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 Six Sigma or Design for Six Sigma project.
