Lean Six Sigma Education
Coaching And Mentoring
Lean Six Sigma has been using coaching and mentoring to support effective learning since more than half-century. The primary objective in Lean Six Sigma coaching is to learn how to effectively apply this advanced methodology in real-world situations. Despite the wide application of Lean Six Sigma, every project or program has its uniqueness, and it is necessary to apply appropriate tools and methods to solve a particular problem on hand in the most optimal way for a given team.
Why coaching
Using the Lean Six Sigma methodology is like painting a picture. There area many colours available, and not all of them used every time. For a beautiful picture the painter will select a certain combination of colours to make his or her work looks great.
Lean Six Sigma has its colours in the rich variety of tools, methods and techniques. Lean Six Sigma project leaders wisely select from all the methods those techniques which fit best their project topic, project team, available data or a problem on hand. Some tools are incorrect for certain situations, other might be not necessary for the given topic.
Lean Six Sigma coach assists you to learn how to select appropriate “colours” (the tools, methods and techniques) for various Lean Six Sigma projects. He or she will help you to become a great Lean Six Sigma project manager, teacher and coach.
In coaching we will work towards
your specific professional goals, and
adjust our joint activities to it.
