Dear All,

The most common question we have faced while training 15000 plus professionals over the years has been - How will Six Sigma help me in my job/profile? OR Will it be useful in such and such profile?

My 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.

I am sure 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 road map, 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 the domain.

Now coming back to the question - How will Six Sigma help me in my job/profile?

Let me ask 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.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.

  Dear Vishwadeep,

Very incredible    !!!!

 

yes, itz true

An important twist in this question -

We have come across senior professionals making statements of the following types.

• Although I have not undergone Green Belt training (or for that matter, any formal Six Sigma training), I should be allowed to directly attend Black Belt training.
• Seniority should be made criteria for direct entry into Black Belt.
• I have been in the industry for more than 10 years.

If someone needs a Black Belt without undergoing Green Belt, he/she should consider ten days black belt training (PLUS 2-4 days of pre-course and mid course self-study and practice exercises).

 

This ten days Black Belt training can be obtained by enrolling into our 4 days Green Belt followed by 6 days Black Belt (both having pre-course and mid course self-study and exercises).

 

What I mean is quite obvious - there are no short cuts. It is important to complete graduation before considering post graduation.

Hehehehe.....

Rightly, there is "NO" SHORTCUT to success. BTW, incredible piece of information on "How Six Sigma Helps?"

I would just say that Six Sigma is relevant to everyone. The best thing about Six Sigma green belt training is that it shapes your mind in a manner which is enabled to look out for process improvements everywhere. So, even if you are not directly involved in a Six Sigma role, the training is beneficial.

Hi Khatri,

Good explanation on six sigma.

I am unsure whether I should pursue Six Sigma training. I have been doing process improvements but never found the need for formal training. Recently, my manager mentioned that it is crucially important for an improvement specialist to undergo Six Sigma training.

You will get all the information that you need.

As discussed above, Six Sigma is applicable in almost all the domains that one can think of. It is about phasing out the defects to the maximum possible level. Also, it is about identifying the processes which are not adding value to the final output, i.e. Non Value Adds. These again need to be removed from the process.

Six Sigma I would say is important for every professional so as to widen their scope and understand its applications.
