Six Sigma Champion Training

About the Program:

Champions are the key to success in every Six Sigma deployment. For small and large companies alike, the ability to identify the right projects, select and mentor the right people, and drive Six Sigma to produce breakthrough results is the responsibility of the Champion.

Six Sigma Champions are executives and managers with significant overall business responsibility. It is the selection of individuals with ultimate responsibility for the business that ensures Black Belts have the support they need to succeed.

Champions receive extensive training in Six Sigma fundamental concepts, the basic tools of Six Sigma, project selection, change management, and the management of Six Sigma and Black Belts within an organization.

The three-day session is highly interactive with a full day of hands-on project selection training conducted in workshop and breakout format.

This course is a core element of ASI’s small business program and is highly recommended before training Black Belts. It is also an excellent refresher for anyone that has been away from Six Sigma or is just looking to refresh their perspective and learn about the latest developments.

Some of the most critical and challenging responsibilities of the Champion include:

• Selecting and mentoring Black Belts
• Selecting projects
• Removing barriers and ensuring Black Belts receive the support they need
• Ensuring Black Belts are 100% dedicated to their Six Sigma projects
• Driving cultural change through Six Sigma
