Legit Lean Six Sigma BB?

I’m happy to help, as I have a particular passion for feather merchants. Let me know and I can provide offline contact info.

g.e. will not certify unless you are a g.e. employee!!! you may be getting smoke blown up it!

It would seem that the Empire has located the rebellion’s current hide out, as the death star is powering it’s primary weapon for a demonstration of force.  Tick tock…Rough time to be a Jedi.

As a current GE BB, there is no certification outside of GE employees at this time. There is no such thing as the GE Institute, unless GE stand for something besides General Electric.This guy is a fraud at worst, and totally misrepresenting himself at best. What did he charge for the “certification”?

Their are many very poor six sigma and LSS certification activites going on..
If you did not work at GE it is possible that you went through BB as a supplier but I never heard of one obtaining an MBB.
Keep in mind that GE is not the mecca of six sigma and in recent years has digressed to having folks take a test and that is it.
In the later 90’s and early 2000’s they had a good program but that was about it.
 

All this supposition as to whether this is a legit GE program or not is silly. Diane, you must be in a position to determine who they really are. I mean, you paid them some money right? You signed an agreement right? You know where you first made contact with them right?
Why ask us if they are really GE or not?

Diane:Do not challenge this person directly any longer.Your training certificate may have no more legitimacy than any other. Knowledgeable hiring managers will not put any more credence in it than it deserves. When you are interviewing at your next company, make sure you talk about the projects you have worked on much more than where you received your training. That should help you for establishing your own credibility. By the way, does the training material bare the GE logo? GE is very protective of its logo and reputation. If you feel he is misrepresenting himself or his professional association with the “GE Institute”, then this person can face severe consequences of his actions from people other than you.For some clarity on these issues you can send email to Gary Sheffer (Executive Director Communications & Public Affairs). His contact information can be found at http://www.ge.com/news/contacts/index.html, or try the general information line at 203 373 2211. Call from home or your personal cell phone and use your personal email account.Best of luck,
Alastair

Is the “MBB” guy there former GE?

Oh, Sweet niblets!!!

Ouch. What a hack.

Diane is this your guy ….. J. Kenneth Feldman is a Six Sigma Master Black Belt and technical director with George Group. He has a doctorate degree and more than 30 years of experience helping organizations improve quality and performance. He has worked in such diverse industries as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, steel, corrugated containers, printing, higher education, chemicals, food products, paper, U.S. Military, financial services, electronics, automotive, paint, ink and others. Prior to joining George Group, Ken was a senior vice president in the quality and productivity group at Bank of America. He coached and taught Green Belts, Black Belts, Master Black Belts and managers.

Ken is a friend of mine and is definitely not at Diane’s company.He is very competent and would not need to fall back on claiming GE
(although it would be true in his case).

Stan – How well do you really know him?  And are you really the best character witness?

Mike,
 
This sounds like this Feldman dude trying to drum up publicity for himself.  Maybe he has hired an agent.  “Any press is good press” Brilliant.

What did I miss???
Holy Canoli.
Stevo, shoot me an email when you have a moment.

or an observer?

It makes sense that someone of your capabilities and with your work load is unable to visit this site often.
What does that say about Stan – last year’s most prolific poster? Hhmmm….. And he professes to run three Fortune 500 deployments worldwide. Wonder what he’s smokin’.

. . . oops –  my image of Marty didn’t come out. 

Just had a chance to check in and saw this thread. Fortunately I know Dr. Feldman although I wouldn’t say we are friends. He is very experienced and competent and whoever is trying a hatchet job on him is way off base and out of line.

Dr.Feldman and Darth, they are the same person. Of course you guys
are not friends if you are the same person. DON’T BE A HYPOCRITE

Thanks for the compliment but no sale.

Greg S.,
Darth and Ken, the same person?
While I admit that would be an earth-shattering reveal, alas, it is not the case…
would be cool though!
