Coaching & Mentoring
Our world-class group of certified Master Black Belts has decades of coaching experience in a myriad of industriesOverview
The coaching mentoring process is one of the most important components of a CPI deployment. Often, students and leaders are given some training and then left on their own to execute projects. This leads to a misapplication of the tools, projects that languish, and organizational frustration.
We have found, over the years, that a regimented coaching schedule is the most effective way to embed a deep understanding of the LSS methodology and tools and ensure timely project completion. Our world-class group of certified Master Black Belts has decades of coaching experience in a myriad of industries. Each coach is highly skilled at tailoring his or her style and approach to the individual student to maximize effectiveness.

LSS Master Black Belt Coaching
Overview
Master Black Belts are the backbone of a sustainable CPI program. They are the best and brightest and the journey to MBB competency is difficult and does not happen overnight. We work very closely with the organizational leadership team to identify potential candidates and groom them for future roles as MBBs.
Because of the critical role of the Master Black Belt, our coaching program is very closely connected with our MBB certification requirements. We work with the candidates in the areas of training, facilitation, coaching, and executing enterprise-wide projects.
