Who can benefit by Green Belt training?

A very common question is How will Six Sigma help me

in my job/profile? OR Will it be useful in such and such profile?

The answer is -" If you consider yourself as an improvement oriented
person, Six Sigma is for you. Interestingly, this holds true irrespective of
your job profile"

Let us try to understand this better.

Each job profile has its challenges (more commonly called

"problems"). Most of these problems or challenges can be addressed

if world best techniques are used. Techniques that are timeless,

universally applicable, logically sound, and conceptually very

powerful.

These techniques can solve small and big problems in a job profile,
can address improvements in a department, and have a potential of
turning around a company from brink of closure to epitome of success.

You can visualize that these techniques can not be the
outcome of special effort of an individual, or a department or an
organization, or even an era of global development. These
techniques are compiled from global wisdom across industries,
across centuries, across continents. When such classic approaches
come together in a single roadmap, no problem remains too big, no
challenge is insurmountable.

These improvement techniques are covered in three levels of courses

conducted by Benchmark Six Sigma - Green Belt, Black Belt and

Master Black Belt.

As in Karate, the belts relate to levels of mastery achieved in

understanding and application of Six Sigma.

Now coming back to the question -

How will Six Sigma help me in my job/profile?

Here are some questions to help you answer your question -

1. Do you face problems and challenges in you profile? If not, do
you wish to ensure that your way of doing things is "the best
practice"?

2. Do you have an opportunity of leading/ initiating/ recommending
changes that would deliver results, results that are more
consistent and better than ever before?

3. In your profile, do you think involving others in an improvement
journey shall require a structured approach?

4. Do you want to learn techniques that you can apply yourself in
the current profile to measure, analyze and improve processes?

5. Do you think you would like to be referred as a "positive change
agent" or an "improvement oriented person" or may be "an
improvement expert"?

If the answer to all the above is yes, you can surely benefit by

applying Six Sigma in your current profile.

To make it all simpler, there are two types of people who can not

benefit from Six Sigma -

1. Those who do not find any "problems" or "opportunities for improvement" and

2. Those who do not wish to take up the best available approaches to tackle them.
