What you describe isn’t too far from where we are however we add a few things to the mix and another week of training…. MBB’s for us form the basis of change managment therefore in addition to the review of methodology and advanced statistical material we added material on change management, project management, coaching and mentoring. Our MBB’s also develop new training material as well as deliver it therefore we add material on adult learning styles and training development.
With the additional material we also recognize that standing in front of a class of new BB’s is not a given therefore there is a requirement to deliver at least 3 training modules (2 must be technical in nature) which are evaluated by at least 2 other MBB’s. Finally, there is a comprehensive exam that is given after training and teaching (with both oral and written sections) which requires a passing score of 70% and a 90% to certify. (and no the written part is not a multiple guess test, but essay and short answer, minitab output analysis and data set analysis using minitab).
This qualifies the MBB to move from candidate to junior MBB status where they are assign to a more senior MBB for the first year of so of their tenure.
Not that any one way to get there is right but when we put someone in the role we are pretty sure they can handle the expectations for the position.
