But please keep in mind that they are still starting the deployment of Six Sigma in their company.  We have experienced this problem where people are questioning the “legality” and “longetivity” of this program.  Therefore, every ounce of morale boosting activity (like giving of certificates to certified blackbelts) really counts.  Just re…[Read more]

Hello.  For me, I think the real value of Certification can boil down to morale.  Giving certifications can improve morale of blackbelts thus making them more productive.  It can also show how important this position is to other employees.  I am a blackbelt and I have experiences with my colleagues about having high or low morale.  I can real…[Read more]
