Programme

Giving direction to continuous improvement

  1. 01

    Strategy and priorities

    Connect strategy to results. You deepen your knowledge of Lean Six Sigma and process management and learn how to align improvement initiatives with organisational goals.

  2. 02

    Leadership and sponsorship

    Organise the conditions for success: clear roles, ownership and decision-making. You learn to guide improvement leaders and work on the connection between Hard & Heart: structure and results as well as behaviour and engagement.

  3. 03

    Sustaining and advancing

    Make improvement part of daily work. You deepen your knowledge of stand-ups, Kaizen, pilot-driven change and ADKAR. Throughout, you keep testing: is the solution right, does the approach work and does the change land?

Personal coaching at DEPLOY

Practical assignments and coaching

Applying it in your role as Champion

You work on an improvement or change challenge from your own organisation. Together with your coach you connect the methodology to your learning goals and your role as Champion. You practise prioritising, guiding and organising the conditions for successful improvement.

Training and individual coaching alternate: preparing, applying and reflecting. Through the online DEPLOY toolbox you get access to training material, templates and simulations during the programme. 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 combines theory, application in practice and reflection on your development. You take an exam, record your practical experience in an experience case and complete your coaching log. After successful completion you receive Champion certification from DEPLOY Training & Coaching, assessed by a Master Black Belt.

During the intake we discuss your background, learning goals and a suitable practical assignment. Time to apply and support from your organisation are important conditions for a valuable programme.
