Programme
Deepen, lead and coach
We build on the Green Belt approach and deepen analysis, change and coaching.
- 01
Deepening your analysis
You deepen your knowledge of data collection, statistics and working with Minitab. Topics include hypothesis testing, regression analysis, analysis of variance and advanced control charts. Measurement system analysis and process capability are optional extensions. You learn to understand what data really tells you and which conclusions you can draw.
- 02
Leading change
You broaden your approach with Design for Six Sigma, Quality Function Deployment, stand-ups and Kaizen. With a deeper look at ADKAR and an introduction to NLP, you work on the behavioural side of change. You connect Hard & Heart: a well-founded solution and people who are able and willing to carry the change.
- 03
Coaching others
You learn to guide Green Belts in their improvement projects. You ask probing questions, help choose suitable tools and challenge assumptions. This is how you develop into a sparring partner and coach who helps others move forward independently.
Practical assignments and coaching
Applying it in your own practice
In the programmes with practical guidance you work on a complex improvement or change challenge from your own organisation. With your personal coach you discuss the approach, analyses and application. You learn to choose deliberately which method or tool adds value at which moment.
Training, application and reflection alternate. You pay attention both to the quality of the content and to guiding people and sustaining results.
During the programme you get access to the online DEPLOY toolbox with training material, templates and simulations. AIDA, your digital Lean Six Sigma assistant, supports you with questions about the methodology and its application along the way.
Certification and requirements
The programme concludes with Black Belt certification by a Master Black Belt of DEPLOY Training & Coaching. The chosen format determines whether you follow the theory programme or also complete practical certification.
The programme includes an exam. For practical certification you also record your application and learning experiences in an experience case and coaching log. Your development and practical application are evaluated at completion.
Experience with Lean Six Sigma projects at Green Belt level forms the basis. During the intake we discuss your background, learning goals and a suitable practical assignment. Time to learn and apply, plus support from your organisation, are important conditions.
Practical information and investment
The programme usually takes around 6 months. We agree the start and schedule together. The final duration partly depends on your practical assignment.

Participant experience
Bert — Cremer Speciaalmachines
During his Black Belt programme, Bert is guiding two Green Belts through an improvement project on manufacturing costs. His analyses with Minitab revealed insights that challenged earlier assumptions.
His experience shows what the step to Black Belt involves: analysing more deeply, continuing to think critically and guiding others. Through practical application and individual coaching, he is developing as a sparring partner and coach.
