Colin – Today we are here with Steve who is our Six Sigma Black Belt Trainer and we are just answering some questions that we are commonly asked by our clients about Six Sigma. I want to ask you about the belt levels and what is a Green Belt? What is a Black Belt? And what are the differences between Green Belt and Black Belt?
Steve – A Black Belt typically has 3 to 4 weeks of training and a Black Belt is somebody who is confident with the whole range of Lean Six Sigma tools. They are someone who is going to have good people skills as well because a Black Belt will be leading projects. As well as knowing the tools, a Black Belt will also know about how to run a good meeting, managing the sponsor, making sure you get people involved and motivated in the programme. So the Black Belt brings together the people skills and an in-depth knowledge of the tools. They will be leading programmes and generating projects which will probably generate multiple projects of its own. A Green Belt has typically has got 1 or 2 weeks of training, some project experience and they will have a good understanding of the basic tools of Lean Six Sigma. They’ll be working as either a member of a large project, lead by a Black Belt, and/or they’ll be leading projects themselves in the work place as a Green Belt.
