What are the Benefits of Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training?

1. Deliver an Improvement Project during the training

When they complete our course – they need to also deliver a real project to gain certification. We deliver this course over a period of months and your colleagues will work on their project in between training days. These projects also ensure that the minimum benefit to your business is far greater than the cost of the course. In our experience – you can expect a course to deliver 5 to 10 times the benefit to your organization.

2. Improve your customer experience

In our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course, we focus on the customer. We’ve found that lower costs, higher quality and more sales all come from starting with the customer experience. We teach our Green Belts to see the process through the eyes of the customer – eliminating effort & non-value added activity from the customer. Reducing failure means reducing how often customers need to contact you and improves their satisfaction with your organization.

3. Develop your employees

Investing in your employees creates a higher level of employee engagement. By putting your staff through Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training, you’re investing in their future and the future of your organization. You’re helping to develop their career and their professional skills. By working on many and varied projects in your organization, they will develop a greater understanding of how your business works and how different departments and divisions work (or don’t work) together to deliver your products and services.

4. Lower your costs

Too often, this is the primary focus for Lean Six Sigma projects – how much money will they save? This is because it’s an easy metric to measure and compare the cost of the project vs the benefits it brings. But there’s no point pretending that Lean Six Sigma projects won’t return a cost-saving – they do and it can help increase the profitability of your organization. We’ve worked with organizations that were losing money to help them turn a profit. We’ve worked with profitable companies to help increase their profits. We’ve worked with companies who’ve been able to grow their sales, but not grow their cost base to service those customers. All of these are examples of cost-saving.

5. Increase your sales

Lean Six Sigma is not just about reducing costs – it can be about increasing value. We teach our staff to look at your Marketing, Sales and Retention processes to measure the current performance and understand how it can be improved. Increased sales are one of the greatest benefits of Lean Six Sigma – but one so few organizations take advantage of. We’ve worked with companies to increase their sales between 10% and 30% higher at no extra cost to their existing budgets. It’s easier to fix a poor sales or retention process than it is to go and find more customers to talk to.

There are many more benefits to Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training such as:

• Identifying and addressing the root causes of problems rather than just treating the symptoms
• Using data-driven decision-making to eliminate guesswork and improve performance
• Fostering a culture of continuous improvement within your organization
• Enhancing stakeholder management and communication skills

By investing in Green Belt training for your team, you can significantly boost your organization’s performance. In fact, the projects completed during our training often deliver more value than the cost of the program itself—ensuring a guaranteed return on investment.
