    Posted on: Monday, 29th October 2001, 3:50 PM.


    I entered the Six Sigma program with our organization in May as a BB candidate.  Since then I have encoutered a number of setbacks and frustrations.   They aren't unique to me, either.  Many other BBs at my company are experiencing the same things.   I'm hoping for some general advice.  What can you do (as a BB) when (1) you get little or no support from your champion and/or sponsor,  (2) there are no GBs - thats right zero Green Belts, (3) Your mentor, the MBB, is too busy to talk to you and constantly misses appointments, reschedules, etc.  (4) You work in a branch office and have very little interaction with other Six Sigma personnel.  (5) Projects are given to you with the outcome already decided (ie implement this new program).  There are other problems but I dont want to ramble. 

    The way I see it, I am responsible for my success in spite of the roadblocks.  Can anyone offer some general advice for people working in Six Sigma programs that are a little screwed up ????
