About the Program

Green Belt is not just a role, it is also a competency required for leadership positions at many top companies. This
learning series is designed to enable participants to fulfill the important role of a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and to
incorporate the Lean Six Sigma mindset into their leadership skills. With a real-world project focus the series will teach
the fundamental methodology, tools and techniques of the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control Process
Improvement Methodology. This course is delivered through sixteen 3-hour online sessions or eight traditional
classroom days spread over two months (2x4 consecutive days).

Who Should Attend

Process experts, team members, project leaders who will lead smaller projects, individuals who will support Black Belts
with data collection and future leaders who want to learn this valuable skill set will all benefit tremendously from this
series.

Performance Focus
Participants will learn how to select high impact projects that align to the organizational objectives and strategy. Once
the projects are identified they’ll learn how to properly plan the Six Sigma project, identify the CTQ’s (Customer
Requirements), measure process capability, analyze data, identify root causes, implement improvements, and sustain
the gains. Using hands-on, interactive exercises and simulations, instructors will demonstrate when, why and how Six
Sigma tools and techniques are used to identify and eliminate defect drivers and Lean tools and techniques are used to
improve speed in critical business processes. IIL instructors will provide free project coaching throughout the course.
