Why Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma
Continuous Improvement is forever
The philosophies, methodologies and techniques employed by Lean Six Sigma (LSS) are among the most transformative in the world of business. Employed in the manufacturing domain upon its inception, LSS is applied today in almost any field imaginable, from finance to education, from software development to healthcare, and from engineering to human resources.
Its main premise is simple: An organization that transforms information or materials into deliverables that satisfy a customer's needs, it must have a process. That process must have a target (cost, delivery, quality...), and when that target is not met, an organization must work to bridge that gap to guarantee performance and remain competitive.
Six Sigma involves a plethora of techniques to tackle variability that is inherent in any process, while Lean focuses on the elimination of the waste that eats up effort and time but adds no value. By empowering employees to take ownership of their processes and to achieve operational excellence using LSS, some of the world's biggest companies have saved billions of dollars and transformed their organizations.

Why Master Sensei?
Experience and reputation matter

The truth is that this was never the spirit of Lean Six Sigma Certification when it was first conceived by Motorola back in 1990s. The goal was to recognize demonstrated excellence in the subject matter, through thorough understanding of the methodology and the ability to apply it concretely in real life situations.
This is why certification providers that care about respecting the original intention of the belt system (white, yellow, green, black and master black belt), insist on being accredited by reputable institutions to safe guard the integrity of the Lean Six Sigma Certification domain.

While following E-learning courses might prove useful to understand the basics of Lean Six Sigma, understanding how to apply the theory in real life scenarios is what ultimately matters in your learning endeavor. After all, a Lean Six Sigma project leader (Black or Green Belt) is a people leader who needs to understand all the nuances associated with assembling a successful team and guiding them to the finish line.
Videos and textbooks can only take you so far. Live training is and will always be the difference maker.
