Six Sigma Black Belt Training

Six Sigma Black Belts are the centerpiece of the Six Sigma program. Six Sigma Black Belts are improvement experts that are deployed to conduct the project work that delivers to your overall goals and objectives. Throughout their 4 week Six Sigma Black Belt training, participants internalize the methods and tools of Six Sigma. The training itself is conducted over the course of 3-4 months and participants apply the new knowledge from each session immediately between the training sessions in a residency style program. It is this mechanism that ensures progress is being made quickly and the learning of methods and tools takes place with real world goals in mind.

Projects for Six Sigma Black Belts can vary in scope, however, the most typical projects are either larger scale interdepartmental projects or small and medium scale intradepartmental projects. Healthcare providers will find benefit in teaming up several Six Sigma Black Belts from different backgrounds and functional expertise to work larger scale projects together.

Just as in the Green Belt training, Six Sigma Black Belt training candidates apply their knowledge to the projects during the formal training weeks. As much as possible, our training utilizes the actual project work to demonstrate tool usage rather than using pre-set embedded training examples. This real world healthcare centered approach to training is one of the key advantages of our program, ensuring that progress is made from day one and allowing your associates to ask relevant questions that apply to your environment.
