Project Updates

What is expected from a project update?

Each Black Belt in training will make a short (5-15 minute) presentation at the beginning of the second, third, and fourth instruction blocks to show the class your progress and lessons learned since the last session. Showing these to your project Champion would be a great way to keep them involved. Please notify your instructor if there will be issues with proprietary knowledge ahead of time. These presentations would be identical to ones you would be making to your project Champion.

How can I do a project update?

An integral part of the course is providing a project update to your instructor. This gives you the opportunity to get helpful input and practice presenting status reports to your Champion. There are a few different ways you can do this.

Videotape your presentation and

send a videotape or DVD to ROI
e-mail the digital file (resolution 640x480 is fine)

Send your instructor your PowerPoint presentation, then schedule a conference call to go through the slides
If you happen to live near one of our instructors, you could set up a time to present directly to him or her

Testimonials

After reviewing several online courses, I finally told myself to make a decision based on the information I had. I could have easily spent another 6 months reviewing my many options, but I really wanted to get started on a course this summer while I had a little more free time. Your course definitely stood out among the others - especially in the area of personal mentoring which is very important to me.

Random Heresy

I thought this month we would get away from the stats of the last few columns. Hey, quiet down! How can anybody read over all that cheering?

There’s something missing from most Six Sigma implementations—a gap that, if left unattended, leads to wasted time and money, as well as the failure of the effort itself. This topic will help you make and maintain the business case for doing Six Sigma, since it will become integral to achieving the business’s objectives.
