I recently completed the GLSS Champion course and found it extremely valuable and practical. The course clearly explains Lean Six Sigma principles and gives great examples that are easy to follow and implement. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in a leadership or management role looking to drive sustainable improvement processes.
A Perfect Next Step in the GLSS Journey. After completing my Yellow, Green, and Black Belt certifications with GLSS this year, the Champion course felt like the natural next step. It clearly connected Black Belt concepts to real leadership behaviors and reinforced what it means to lead with integrity and intention.
The GLSS Champion Certification was extremely helpful and provided clear, practical insights into several key areas of process improvement and operational excellence. The training offered strong clarity and understanding on:
Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)
Ethical Efficiency & Responsible Decision Making
Project Prioritization & Strategic Alignment
Monitoring Progress with Data-Driven Metrics
Leading Change Across Teams
Project Portfolio Management
Overall, the program was well-structured, informative, and highly valuable for applying Lean Six Sigma principles in real projects. I found the content very relevant to my role and will be able to apply these skills immediately in my day-to-day work.
This course was interesting, entertaining, and easy to understand. It gives a lot of valuable information about the Champion role in the Lean Six Sigma ecosystem. I recommend it to everyone who wants to gain knowledge and understand the Champion role.
