Lean and Six Sigma are two most popular initiatives large number of companies across industries and countries are passionately pursuing.
In Lean and six sigma field there is no certification for the organization, unlike other quality approaches, such as ISO-9000, COPC, CMMI and TS-16949. Companies are adopting Lean Six Sigma for the following reasons:
Successfully implement their strategic business plans
Achieving faster and bigger results
Many customers require Lean Six Sigma, as part of the supplier selection process.
ISL-online courses and certification are designed to help companies embarking lean six sigma journey. For SME companies, ISL courses are useful in adopting Lean or Six Sigma with low cost. Further, ISL courses help large companies quickly spread the Lean Sigma to the length and breadth of the organization with low cost.
Why Sponsor Employees for Certification?
Lean 6 Sigma certification courses require participants to implement 1 or 2 project Green Belt and Black Belt levels respectively. Normally the savings in these projects are many times more than cost of training. Thus the return on investment (ROI) of Lean Six Sigma certifications is very high. Organization will get back the investment in about 4 - 6 months. This is the typical time taken for project completion.
By sponsoring employees for the certification, retention can be improved. Typically completing Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification requires about 2 years. During this period each participant will be doing four projects, which will add to the bottom line of the company.
Strategies for Sponsoring
ISL online courses provided multiple options for the corporate clients:
Individual Sponsoring - one or few people
Group Sponsoring (10 or more will be called a group)
Individual sponsoring is a way to test how the course will help your organization. The stakes are very low. Once found useful, you can increase the numbers any time.
Organizations sponsoring group will get the following features:
Special discount (10%)
Progress and project tracking facility to the HR manager
Who can benefit?
ISL corporate sponsorship scheme is useful for a company already into lean six sigma implementation as well as to companies completely new to lean six sigma.
With class-room based training large number of people in a short span of time is not possible. Further, difficult to provide project facilitation. Several six sigma companies are now implementing something called - digital six sigma - involves providing complete training and project facilitation online.
Small companies can afford to implement lean six sigma initiative. Typically, a company can sponsor one employee and see the results before committing themselves to implementing lean six sigma in a big way.
