Why Does My Company Need This Program?
If your company is just starting a Six Sigma Initiative
The first step to a successful Six Sigma implementation is creating awareness and enthusiasm for Six Sigma throughout the workforce. That usually means conducting short training sessions with all employees to introduce them to the Six Sigma concepts and tools. However, developing and delivering this type of overview can be time consuming and expensive. In addition, scheduling training and assuring that all employees participate in the overview can be a nightmare.
Instead of taking valuable time just getting your company ready to implement Six Sigma with an introductory classroom training program, why not let the Six Sigma Start-Up do it for you? Many companies find that they can begin applying and benefiting from Six Sigma more quickly with the Six Sigma Start-Up because the difficult task of designing the overview course is already done for them.
If you already are a Six Sigma Company
Just because you have completed your initial round of Six Sigma doesn't mean that your Six Sigma training is over. Companies that have been involved in Six Sigma initiatives for several years find that they are always needing to provide refresher training as people change jobs and responsibilities internally and as new employees are brought on board. It's easy to let this important, on-going training slip because of the hassles of scheduling and presenting the training. Often employees will be in a new job for several months before a class is offered. However, with Six Sigma Start-Up you don't have those hassles because it is always available and ready to train at the moment of need.
