Lean Six Sigma Champions Workshop

Equip Your Leaders to Drive Strategic Improvement and Deliver Measurable Result

Build the leadership capability needed to make Lean Six Sigma succeed in your organisation.

This 1-day Lean Champions Workshop is designed for senior leaders, executives, and sponsors responsible for driving improvement — without being involved in day-to-day project delivery.

You’ll gain the clarity, structure, and confidence to select the right projects, support your teams effectively, and ensure improvement initiatives deliver real business value.

About the Course

Lean Six Sigma is a proven methodology for solving complex problems, improving performance, and delivering measurable results. However, the success of any programme depends heavily on leadership support.

This workshop focuses on the critical role of the Lean Six Sigma Champion — the link between strategic priorities and operational delivery.

You’ll learn how to move your organisation from reactive “firefighting” to a structured, data-driven approach to continuous improvement .

Throughout the day, you’ll cover:

  • What Lean Six Sigma is and why it matters

  • The role of a Champion within Lean Six Sigma

  • How to select and prioritise improvement projects

  • Reviewing and challenging project charters

  • How to support and coach Black Belts and Green Belts

  • Governance, reporting, and benefit tracking

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Why This Workshop Matters

Many organisations invest in Lean Six Sigma training but fail to see results due to a lack of leadership engagement.

Champions play a critical role in:

  • Aligning projects to strategic priorities

  • Removing barriers and enabling progress

  • Ensuring benefits are realised and sustained

Without effective Champions, projects often lose momentum, lack direction, or fail to deliver value
