Lean Six Sigma skills are becoming increasingly crucial in the business world. This methodology will help you improve processes, reduce costs, and promote efficiency without devaluing your product or pipeline. Executive Education’s Lean Six Sigma programs take your training a step further by allowing you to complete a process improvement project before receiving your certificate. You may complete a project for your organization or partner with a different one. Completing this project ensures that you retain key principles and know how to apply them.
Our programs are taught by a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and our certificates are accredited by The Council for Six Sigma Certification. This accreditation is crucial: it is one of the most prominent and well-respected accreditations for Six Sigma programs. It is used and recognized in more than 165 countries worldwide.
