3 Obstacles Every Six Sigma Black Belt Must Overcome

Today\’s update is another short PowerPoint Presentation 3 Obstacles Every Six Sigma Black Belt Must Overcome. To summarize:

1. Failure to Finish

This happens because employees get tired and lost throughout the hectic year of meeting very ambitious targets. As a result, they do not go fast enough or far enough
Achieving success requires Champions to:
Be in place to reinforce and encourage the first few times the seeds of the change are planted
Applaud the first few steps in their walk of faith
Monitor process and communicating individual and collective improvement

2. Failure to See

Is a function of entrenched, successful maps. The more successful they are, the more blinding they are. It takes high contrast and confrontation to break through and help employees conceive that the old right way is now wrong and to see the new vision
Heightening contrast and confrontations requires:
Focusing on the core differences
Juxtaposing their descriptions
Repeating the message and putting people in inescapable experiences to force the contrast

3. Failure to Move

Occurs because people are not motivated to go from doing the wrong thing well to doing the right thing poorly
It takes:
Ensuring that the target is clear
That the capabilities and tools are in place
And that rewards are provided in order for employees to believe that they can go from doing the right thing poorly to doing it well
