Experience Matters -

Solve your most complex process challenges immediately after training.

CiKATA’s Lean Six Sigma 4.0 Black Belt framework is not an academic slideshow common in the continuous improvement industry.  It’s a practical, easy to learn and easy to replicate in the workplace immediately after training. As with all CiKATA training offerings, participants roleplay as a project team to transform a simulated cross-functional business process to complete their very first black belt project in the classroom. Contact us to learn more about on-site training offerings and pricing.

 

Business Simulation

All of Cikata’s Lean Six Sigma courses utilize a specialized business simulation to allow participants to apply tools learned to transform a real live business problem right in the classroom.

Our business simulations are scalable in complexity from our Introduction to Lean Six Sigma to our most challenging Black Belt work stream.
