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.
