Foreword:

• Champions are high-level managers who are responsible for leading the execution of Lean Six Sigma deployment plans across an organization. This makes it as one of the most crucial roles in any Lean Six Sigma improvement project.
• This course has been designed to build your knowledge and ability to manage a Business Process Improvement initiative through the use of Lean Six Sigma methodologies.
• While you will not be a practitioner of the technical skill sets of these methodologies, you must develop a working knowledge of the capabilities such that you can recognize where and how they can be applied to improve the business processes you manage.
• As a Champion you will also be responsible for driving and inspiring change in your company. Improvements require change - people don't like to change - you will be tasked to see that they respond positively to the necessary changes. We will give you some guidance in that area.
• The main focus of a Lean Six Sigma program is "the process".  Business is conducted through a series of processes yielding what your customers desire. By taking this course you will have a well rounded understanding of the approach your company is taking to implement these methodologies and improve your business. You will also be prepared to make significant contributions in this regard.
