What is Six Sigma Black Belt™?
Developed by Motorola U.S. in the 1980s, Six Sigma is a business management strategy that seeks to improve quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and streamlining processes.
The Six Sigma organisational structure is comprised of Belts™ from Yellow (generalists) to Black (project leaders).
Unsurprisingly, the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt™ ICBB™ is the most coveted level. Let's find out more about it.
