We would like to invite you to Novel Idea’s Lean Six Sigma Black Belt development Program. Gain insight from the experts in Lean Six Sigma in the journey of crafting Lean Six Sigma Back Belts with the ability to apply. Collaborate with other delegates and take the journey to enable you to achieve results fast, with a direct link to bottom line improvement (Growth, Cost reduction/productivity and Cash) through projects that drives operational excellence in any business environment.

Who should attend?

Black Belts are the top talent in the Business and are selected as candidates with future leadership potential. Selection for Black Belts provides accelerated career growth opportunities. Black Belts deliver results and are full time improvement resources that execute on the organizations biggest issues. Black Belts are change masters and DMAIC Process Optimization experts.

After completing the Black Belt Hands on Experiential learning Programme the Black Belt have successfully applied the Methodology to 2 Case studies.

Black Belts are Strategic Resources that work on large cross functional projects that are complex, usually impossible to solve and crucial to the business. Black Belts are selected from the top talent employees and is developed to deliver results through the utilisation and combination of world class methodologies, tools, principles and most importantly – leadership influence – and not power, to get results FAST.
