Building upon the skills and knowledge covered in green belt (or black belt stage 1), the black belt program equips project managers with the skills and tools needed to carry out highly complex improvement projects, spanning across areas of a business or organisation.
Delivered over two, separate, five-day intensives (stage 2 and stage 3), this black belt program enables project managers to draw on sophisticated business analysis tools, creative solution development techniques and business improvement governance models.
The first 5-day block (stage 2) sees participants re-conceptualise their existing understanding of those skills, tools, and concepts learnt during green belt, in the context of ‘whole-of-organisation’ improvement strategy and the different role played by black belt project managers as facilitators and leaders within their organisations. This involves exploring more advanced concepts and tools that arise during the measurement phase.
The second 5-day block (stage 3) explores more advanced concepts, tools, and skills related to the analysis, implementation and control phases. This involves exploring techniques for creative solution development, statistical process control, experiment design and change management for more complex solutions.
