About This Course
Why are Lean Six Sigma Champions so Important?
Champions play a pivotal role in a successful Lean Six Sigma initiative. They serve as mentors to project teams and act as a bridge between black belts and organization management. Without champions, efforts can become entangled with internal obstacles, become misaligned with core business objectives, lose focus and track of time, and may not yield expected benefits. Champions are typically members of the executive or leadership group who sponsor projects and mentor teams working on those projects. To be effective, champions must be trained in the essentials of the Six Sigma Methodology. Champions do not need to be “expert” in Six Sigma tools and techniques but they do need to have proficient skills in facilitation, collaboration and conflict resolution.
