Thinking for Six Sigma™ (TFSS) - SS101

* For everyone

Course overview

Thinking for Six Sigma (TFSS) condenses the whole of change into its most simple and powerful elements, and helps large numbers of people internalize and personalize the principles of six sigma before applying them in the workplace.

While yellow, green and black belt training prepare students in the methods and tools needed to apply six sigma, the TFSS course exposes the underlying tenets of six sigma in a way that enables insight and organizational motivation.

TFSS is not an introduction or overview of six sigma. It is much more useful, in that it resets the mind at a fundamental level and therefore builds the capability for change, as opposed to a rote awareness of six sigma's parts and parcels.

The outcome of TFSS makes the ideas of breakthrough change connect with people at the level of their personal priorities, concerns, problems and goals. The result is a highly fertile environment in which to plant and grow breakthrough improvement initiatives.
