Significance
 Six
Sigma Champion training gives corporate leaders the skills they
need to pave the way for Six Sigma s success
within an organization.
Champions
act as change agents by selecting and defining projects, mentoring
Black Belts, and ensuring that
Six Sigma remains well-aligned with the company’s strategic
goals.
Meaningful
Six Sigma change can only come about if Champions are properly
prepared to guide and support Six
Sigma practitioners.
Knowing
how to fill the project pipeline with viable projects and then
driving these projects to produce ongoing
results is the primary role of Champions.
Description
The
three-day Champion Program gives business leaders the skills they
need to drive financial results using Six Sigma.
The intensive three day course starts with an overview of Six
Sigma and the DMAIC
methodology. From there, class participants spend a significant
amount of time talking about Six Sigma projects and specifically
how to recognize, prioritize, scope and define them.
Special attention is paid to understanding what is, and more importantly,
what is not a Six Sigma project.
