2016 Training Program
> Accelerated Learning
Game Change Certified Green Belt’s 2011
This Four-part Accelerated Learning Program prepares you
to lead a nimble organisation — one that blends best
practices, continuous improvement and evolutionary
change. It builds on the five principles of Lean as a set of
leadership and decision making principles that define
excellence: Customer Value, Value Stream, Flow, Pull and
Perfection.
Six Sigma compliments this methodology, focusing on
driving to perfection all business, technical and
operational processes and results.
The learning curriculum encompasses defect
prevention, variation reduction and mistake proofing
through the use of statistical data driven tools and
techniques. The merging of these two methodologies
provides a powerful and proven approach that engages
the entire workforce in continuous improvement to
achieve business results.
L E A R N I N G O U T C O M E S
» Advanced decision making and process improvement
skills to take on greater responsibility to deliver
continuous improvement projects in your organisation.
» Certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow, Green, Black or
Master Black Belt, an acquired qualification for
business skills development and career advancement.
» Learning is tied directly to the participant’s organisation
needs to evaluate and implement improvement projects
and immediate return on investment.
Successful organisations must habitually innovate, adjust quickly to new business
conditions and exploit emerging opportunities before competitors do. They must perform
Effectively and Efficiently today while continuing to explore new sources of Value for
tomorrow. Such companies don't just happen, they're created by Leaders who understand
how to deliver continuous business process improvement and achieve breakthrough
results.
