Champions perform a variety of necessary functions as they galvanize the change process. They align local objectives with corporate strategy and coordinate efforts across organizational lines. They influence key change stakeholders. They help select process improvement practitioners and develop project pipelines.
This course gives champions all the knowledge, competencies and tools they need to close the all-too-common disconnect between strategic intent and operational execution. You’ll learn how to build an improvement infrastructure, select the best projects and manage the people aspects of process changes on an on-going basis.
Unlike other courses that are biased to particular methodologies, this course teaches champions to be intelligent, agnostic and nimble about which methods they employ to solve different operational problems. Therefore you’ll learn about many different methods within the domains of Just-Do-It, Workout, Lean, Six Sigma and Innovation.*
Most importantly, this course has an applied focus and provides the best value as a direct enabler for those who are actively engaged in the change process. When you take this course with BMGI, you not only get a trainer and coach, but also a performance improvement partner.
*The classroom version of this course is more in depth and broader in scope, while the online version is lighter and more narrowly focused on Lean Six Sigma. Often clients take the shorter online version as a valuable primer
