Belt Bootcamp

Learn to facilitate improvements at Green Belt level

During the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training, you will learn how to improve business processes by identifying, analyzing, and reducing problems within those processes. You will develop the competencies needed to lead improvement initiatives and secure lasting change. After completing the training, you will be able to execute improvement projects within your organization as a project leader. In short, it is a practical program that you can apply directly in your own work environment.

You will learn how to design processes so they deliver exactly what the customer is willing to pay for. Customer value is central. With this mindset, you simplify processes and achieve higher customer satisfaction.

Who is the Green Belt training for?

No specific prior education is required for this Green Belt training. However, the course is delivered at a higher professional education (HBO) level.

The Green Belt program is designed for (aspiring) project leaders of improvement projects, as well as managers and consultants who want to work with Lean and Six Sigma. Our training also incorporates Agile principles. Essentially, the program is valuable for anyone who wants to improve processes within organizations.

Upon completion, you will be capable of independently carrying out an improvement project as a Green Belt. A Green Belt works in a project-based manner on process improvements and organizational change. A Green Belt is expected to deliver concrete and demonstrable results.

The program: what you will be working on

During the training, you will receive a toolbox full of techniques you can use to help a group of people, a department, or an entire organization make significant progress. These tools are effective in all types of organizations and offer long-lasting value. They are presented in a structured way so you can apply them directly in practice. They will support you not only in your current role but also in the work you aspire to do in the future.

The Green Belt training consists of a combination of theory and practice. We enjoy working with examples and use real-life situations—both ours and yours. This brings the theory to life and helps you apply it more effectively in your own work environment. Throughout the training, a case study serves as a central thread for practicing the theory. You will often work on this case in small groups after the trainer has explained the concepts.

Throughout the program, we move through three funnels: from problem, to cause, to solution. These funnels are tied to the Lean Six Sigma structure, which consists of the steps Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control (DMAIC).
