Lean Six Sigma for Champions and Executives

Introduction

Lean Six Sigma at its most effective is a Management System and philosophy that permeates all aspects of an organisation. It is much more than a set of metric-based problem solving and process improvement tools. Executives and Lean Six Sigma project Champions play a critical role in establishing and maintaining a Lean Six Sigma Management System to ensure delivery of sustainable breakthrough results.

Executives and Champions need to understand the key concepts and methods of Lean Six Sigma.

It is when Lean Six Sigma is implemented as a Management System that organisations see the see the greatest impact.
