Lean Six Sigma for Services Black Belt Virtual
ILX virtual Black Belt training is delivered via Instructor led workshops and combines online sessions, hands on project work and remote coaching. Real case studies and examples from delegates are integrated into the training material and used throughout the sessions to illustrate the use of lean six sigma tools and techniques.
Course overview
About the course
Lean six sigma is a structured problem-solving methodology designed to help organisations introduce and sustain a culture of continuous process and service improvement. Lean six sigma is widely recognised as one the most successful improvement methods of all times. ILX Group use a unique lean six sigma framework designed specifically for organisations in finance, telecommunications, public sector, transport, utilities and information technology.
Black Belt training builds on the competencies developed with the ILX Lean Six Sigma for Services Green Belt training and is designed for delegates who have decided to make lean six sigma a career choice. This intensive course will allow delegates to complement the skills learned in the Green Belt training with more advanced statistical tools and learn to cover the role of Black Belt.. The profile of a Black Belt is that of a lean six sigma expert, leading lean six sigma projects, but also delivering training and coaching to other members of the organisation. Therefore, a minimum time commitment around 50% (or more) of their working time is recommended to anyone seeking a Black Belt accreditation.
