What is Lean Six Sigma?

Lean Six Sigma is a systematic methodology that combines the principles of Lean—focused on eliminating waste—with Six Sigma’s data-driven approach to improving quality. This powerful combination helps organisations streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of their processes.

Our Unique Learning Framework

Our Lean Six Sigma learning framework offers a comprehensive journey, guiding participants through essential principles, ideal behaviours, and practical tools to embed and lead excellence. The programme spans five levels of certification, each focusing on increasing capability, leadership, and operational excellence. The Enterprise Excellence Group also offers one further stage for Leadership Development: The Lean Leader.
