Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt

For accredited Black Belts, the Smallpeice Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt programme provides the optimum balance between technical and deployment issues, and the essential leadership, change management and advanced coaching and training skills. As a result of the training and exposure to a wide and diverse range of project activity across all business processes, the Master Black Belt can be a powerful development role for Senior Managers of the future.

Our programme recognises that the role of the Master Black Belt differs between organisations. We provide a framework for certification that ensures all of our Master Black Belts are equipped and able to demonstrate the required level of technical knowledge and core skills whilst providing sufficient flexibility to ensure the belt’s development areas and portfolio of evidence are aligned to the their particular role within their employer organisation.

Formal accreditation recognises the achievement and demonstrated learning and application in the MBB competencies. MBBs prepare a portfolio of evidence from the activities delivered across the period of their learning (typically 6 – 12 months), and need to sit and pass the MBB exam.
