Six Sigma is a management philosophy so it is appropriate that the training should start with management. This 3 day Six Sigma Strategy training course is the first critical element in a strategic deployment of Six Sigma.

It is split into two parts, during the first two days the various elements of the strategy are developed. The management team then spends 4 to 6 weeks verifying their assumptions and collect data on actual process performance. The final day reviews the performance data, verifies the strategy and chooses the initial Six Sigma projects and champions.
