Application to Own Organization

Lean Six Sigma can help cut waste and make HR processes more efficient. But, HR also
can play an active, critical role in establishing a Six Sigma culture at a company.
For example, Six Sigma Black Belts are among the most important members of the organization
when it comes to developing and implementing Six Sigma processes. But where can you find the
candidates for this critical position, and who will oversee training? Organizations are typically
very careful about who they put into these key roles.
HR managers can take a lead in this area, working with executives to establish a competency
model that helps identify those with the most potential for excelling in Lean Six Sigma
leadership roles.
Training and developing Yellow, Green and Black Belts is important and effective toward
improving overall employee retention. This can also provide a highly coveted professional
development opportunity to a key employee. This is a win-win for both the individual and the
corporation.
