Overview/Description
Six Sigma has become synonymous with quality in the business world, but there is no prescriptive process for planning and launching a Six Sigma initiative. Each business must learn to call upon the strengths and abilities of its diverse professionals, from executives to highly trained technical specialists. What are the roles of each in the Six Sigma process? What planning should take place to launch their efforts? How can you tell whether your organization is really ready to take on Six Sigma? What is the proper culture, and can your organization achieve it? And how should the transition be managed? This course examines these crucial issues, as well as providing insight into the organizational responsibilities of Six Sigma participants, and the essential strategic training they will require.

Target Audience
Candidates for Black Belt certification; managers/executives overseeing personnel involved in the implementation of Six Sigma in their organization; consultants involved in implementing a Six Sigma proposal; and organizations implementing a Six Sigma project
