Our Lean Six Sigma training and coaching programs combine engaging classroom sessions with delivery of substantial business benefits through help with project selection, leadership engagement and project coaching.
Effective training requires clear, simple explanations of technical content with a delivery style that interests and motivates participants, stretching those that need to be challenged while building the confidence of those that take longer to understand. Our ability to combine these skills has been developed over multiple training deliveries – with an average of more than 10 years’ training experience we have an unmatched track record.
We can provide training through both direct contracting with employers and through the UK levy-funded Apprenticeship Program, for which we are authorised to provide training at Levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 (roughly equivalent to Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt and Master Black Belt). In addition, due to the length of our experience we are the only organisation authorised to provide End Point Assessments for all of these standards.
Although we are passionate about training, we encourage employers to see it as only a means to an end – Lean Six Sigma training rarely delivers any value if it is not coupled with project execution. The projects should deliver substantial business benefit – typically £500,000+ for a Green Belt group – and it is only through project execution that participants truly understand and learn the techniques and the mindset.
We have a particularly strong track record in consulting, training and project coaching in Financial Services, Discrete Manufacturing and Pharmaceuticals but are able to work both in technical and administrative areas in any industry.
Generally speaking, Green Belt training lasts one to two weeks while Black Belt lasts three to four weeks. We customise our training to meet your needs – whether it be short introductory courses for management or team members, abbreviated Green Belt in Financial Services, technical Green Belt in manufacturing or the more advanced Black Belt and Master Black Belt courses. We can support all of these requirements. We have not published specifics of our curricula here because we do not want to limit the flexibility of our offering; we are happy to customise to meet client needs and happy to provide samples of our materials on request.
Project Coaching is an essential part of what we do. As practitioners ourselves, responsible for delivering multiple projects of varying complexity, we understand the challenges and frustrations as well as the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a project. We know the pitfalls and can guide your Belts to the most effective path for their projects, while encouraging them to think for themselves and experiment with their own ideas.
The role of the Project Champion is key to achieving success and we provide experienced counsel to everyone involved in leading the deployment. This can range from initial meetings to establish a clear strategy and purpose for the projects, to leadership workshops and advice for individual managers on the role they are to perform and the approach they should take.
