This training was very informative and great knowledge to add to my bank!

A very thorough and concise course to introduce Six Sigma

I look forward to becoming a Yellow Belt in the Green Dot program to help my company reach goals that so many of us have for the love of our patients.

This is a great course for anyone looking to improve their skills in meeting management. Very detailed and straight to the point.

Excited to work on my yellow belt certification.

Great introduction into Lean Six Sigma!

I really liked the course and how each training section would roll right into the next. In my opinion, this made it easier to digest. I also really enjoyed the fact that there is downloadable content to be used as a resource when needed in the future.

I found this course overview very helpful in defining the path to take for problem solving and project management. I was able to pull various charts and information sheets to save and utilize for upcoming projects and problem solving in my practice.

I enjoyed this course along with several others. While going through this course I kept thinking “in what way at my current job could this be implemented”. Would be great to walk through something like this in person while learning or after learning the course.

The course was straightforward and offered multiple tools and frameworks I can easily apply in my work.

I thought the training was a great mix between videos, infographics, and text. It was very clear and precise as a reader and I really appreciated all the knowledge gained in this training.

Great organization of the material for optimal learning!

Thank you.

Great education

Quick basic easy to follow overview

Very rewarding thus far.

Good flow to the course. Parking Lot and WWW are crucial to successful meetings. A meeting with no action items is usually pointless and a waste of time.

Even though I currently have Green Belt experience, I was able to pick up useful tools and other ways of thinking through this course. Thanks!

Great systematic approach to make change and improve processes.

Valuable information learned that will be utilized both professionally and personally. Great content and easy to follow course.

The format of the training was very user-friendly and interactive. Concepts were easy to understand and could be easily applied to real-word problems.

This course and all of the tools are really helpful and will be utilized as I work on future improvement projects.

Training material was interesting and easy to follow.

Tom and I have crossed paths in our professional careers many times over the years, but this last year marks a first for us. I brought in him to help a client address Category Six of the Baldrige Framework related to process improvement. He partnered with my client, taught Lean and graduated over ten teams as a Yellow Belt cohort group with tangible and measurable results. This feat was celebrated this last week by the client organization with presentations by each team to senior leadership, Tom and myself. Any consultant knows it is a risk to bring in another consultant… Read more “Great collaborator”

Very thorough insight on project sponsorship and project management

I really enjoyed working through the Design Thinking Foundations – concepts were easy to follow and examples and templates really added to my understanding.

This tremendous entry-level course laid out what future curriculum may include. 10/10 would recommend it!

Great training!

helpful process that can be applied to many aspects of life

Great training!

I found value in all of the information that was presented to me for the White Belt Certification.

I’ve learned a lot from the Green Dot Group. Applying what I’ve learned in their course will make me a more valuable team member.

The course was a great high level on project management process and the use of continuous improvement tools.

The Yellow Belt course has been quick and easy to follow.

Thorough and exhaustive. Some quizzes can feel a bit esoteric, but all in all knowledge worth having.

I got this certification through one of my academic courses and know it will be very useful to have this knowledge and apply it in the medical field.

The A3 was key! This is now my go to tool for problem solving!

The course is great! The information is easily digestible and explained very well.

Thanks for such an effective training. I look forward to implementing more of what I learned to my job!

Lean Six Sigma was very informative and had materials that gave explanations in different formats and templates!

Thank you

Tom and the Green Dot team are amazing. They worked with our team to do yellow belt training as well as facilitated multiple change management and process improvement sessions. They are thoughtful, wise and forced us all to think differently. They are and will be a long-term part of our continued growth and improvement teams!

I think it’s a great way to help individuals and groups understand the basics of self-evaluation and improvement

The content delivery supports various types of learning. I enjoyed applying the information by matching real-life examples to the terms.

Thanks so much for such a helpful course. I enjoyed the content and implementing what we learned into our real-life work settings. These topics are not something we learn in school so I’m grateful that my workplace offered this important training. I look forward to using what I learned and making it stick to more aspects of my job!

I love the train-at-your-pace setup in addition to the written and video coursework.

There were a lot of “ah-ha” moments in this course. Things that were so simple that can be applied to my daily work right away. Thanks!

I’ve done a few yellow belt trainings at other companies and this one included much more relevant examples than others. Thanks!

This 5S training provides specific steps to organize workspaces. It also could be used at home!

I enjoyed learning about leadership and the belts.

Great way to re-think change management!

Against all odds, a team of one made it! Sometimes, a true challenge turns into a valuable learning experience and a worthy contribution to your organization. Thank you Green Dot Group!

Great teaching through online resources.

I would have liked to have all the info graphics and powerpoint slides in one download instead of having multiple downloads with someones only one slide. Also, the yellow belt handbook was not available at the end.

I can appreciate the new perspectives that Green Dot Consulting Group have suggested to better our organization.

The 5S process is so simple that I cant believe that I have been missing this in my digital world.

Great course! I liked the mini quizzes during the course.

I worked with Tom West and Green Dot at Hill Physicians in San Ramon, CA. We were in the process of revamping our informatics support model. This involved a refocus from pure education of providers and staff to one of change management. Tom was able to see my vision and tailored a plan to implement a Lean/ Six Sigma training and adoption plan for staff. Employees were trained and certified as yellow belts and we set up a program of mentorship with the goal of growing them into green and black belts. The projects that the new yellow belts were… Read more “Tailored training plan”

This was very helpful.

This was an excellent start to my path down Six Sigma

A great, easy-to-understand explanation of Six Sigma White Belt.

Truly enjoyed the interactive learning process of understanding the lean six sigma process!

Everything was easy to go through, I liked that it gave both printed and video options.

Easy to understand, the videos are also helpful, and I enjoy the ideas being presented

Great job delineating between the difference of white vs yellow belt. Loved the depth it went into on waste, A3, and 5S components!

I find this information very helpful and I look forward to using it to address issues in our agency in the future.

This is a great intro to Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training! Highly recommended

The headline says it all!

I really enjoyed the Design Thinking Foundations course! The valuable examples, downloadable templates, and interactive sessions equipped me for creative problem solving. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in understanding and improving the problem through the eyes of the customer.

Great overview for white belt training.

Simple, concise, easy to understand.

I like the concept, I wish there were real life examples and short problems to implement out learning.

This has been a very easy to understand training course.

Mr. Thomas West is one of the top professionals in Six Sigma/Lean worldwide. He led me through some Black Belt projects and he was my mentor during my preparation for MBB. He has a wide knowledge and experience in several areas of Six Sigma (PESTEL, SWOT, Strategic Deployment Goals, Business Systems and Process Management, Lean, DMAIC, ….). He is one of the best Six Sigma/Lean consultants/trainers who can guide and support professionals for all the levels of Six Sigma.

Sponsor training was very informative and helped gain perspective on project management, how to help the team to shift direction if needed, and follow a clear roadmap to achieve goals for improvement.

Infographics do well with summarizing!

Key concepts explained thoroughly

I really enjoyed this course! The content and delivery are great, but it also reminded me about the importance of the voice of the customer. How many times do we make assumptions about what solutions our customers want without seeking more information about their experiences and what they need? This course breaks it all down- the why, who, what, and how. You’ll see lots of pro tips related to assembling a team, best practices for each step in the process, and pitfalls to avoid. Descriptions and examples of how to use the tools, as well as downloadable templates help participants… Read more “Looking for a way to include the voice of the customer in your next project? This Design Thinking course has everything you need!”

I enjoy the variation in the delivery method throughout the training.

I enjoyed learning about the waste acronym and how the Six Sigma belts are representation of growth and the beauty in the process of growing. The White Belt training was informative and to be honest I was a little hesitant because I am a hands on learner , but this was interesting.

Straight forward and easy to understand approach to problem solving; Practical and consistent

Great! Love the case studies

Just starting training and I am already planing out ways to utilize the beginning processes I have learned so far! Much more to come!

Green Dot has been informative and easy to understand throughout my training.

I believe this training is valuable and relevant in many environments, both work and outside work.

Well thought out training

Helpful and will lead to better flow in the workplace

Course was very thorough and easy to follow.

As an occupational therapy student, it was interesting to think about the ways in which I could apply this white belt training in future workplaces/community sites. I appreciated the diversity of information presentation (written out, visual diagrams/figures/flowcharts, and videos) to help cater towards all different learning styles. I think it is a well-thought out training with lots of different applications.

Over all a very interesting and informative program. Adding more voice overs and matching activities would improve my learning.

Lots of useful content, but a lot to absorb; Think this works best when you have a project in mind to apply the principles to in your head as you review the entire process.

I wish I had this training at a previous employer.

Great course! Loved the flashcards feature.

Course couldn’t be better

This training has been very helpful for creating a structure in looking at processes within our workplace for improvement and problem solving that allows for all parties to be considered and respected.

The course is well structured. The combination of words, graphics and video helped me understand the concept and kept me interested.

Enjoyed learning about meeting management

This program provided a basis for understanding quality improvement. I appreciate the variety of resources to cater to different learning styles.

Content is clear and well organized

So far, I have really enjoyed the prereq training. This training has increased my excitement for the upcoming course as I feel that I have already gained new knowledge on items that I would like to implement in my meeting routines.

Very knowledgeable and great for teaching me how to improve my own processes in and out of work as well.

I thought the interactive portion was a good way to keep people engaged in training. I also thought the videos were helpful for putting together the information.

What a great way of thinking

Lines everything out clearly and effectively. Explains the key concepts with great visuals!

This was an informative way of keeping clients and internal employees in mind while change takes effect.

The training was easy to follow and provided great tools for helping with quality improvement processes!

I learned new ways to not only approach problem solving, but to approach problem finding. I believe with continued training and mentorship I can grow in my ability to lead projects and to bring forth problems that may not be easily noticeable. I honestly came into Yellow Belt training not wanting to participate because of my full schedule, but I think that I can apply some of these skills to managing my weekly/monthly to do list also. This will allow me to engage in projects more often.

Great course!

Very informative information provided in a format you can learn through modules and videos! The acronyms for waste are very helpful.

good review

I’ve learned useful language and tools to better communicate and structure the changes I want to see in my workplace. Highly Recommend!

Easy to Navigate once in but hard to get open in the beginning

The course content was laid out and organized nicely. Each module wasn’t too lengthy; nice bite-sized chunks to encourage trainees to continue through the course.

I can now contribute to my organizations change management journey.

Excellent, and unironically clear and concise training. 10/10!

The 5S strategy was very interesting and I definitely can see value in adopting this Model. I can also use the steps at home to better organize and unclutter all areas.

I have enjoyed learning about Lean Six Sigma and how to obtain my Yellow Belt. Excited to continue on.

Easy to navigate, great training for improvements and communication throughout

Tom’s teaching is very hopeful. The detail in which he explains the concepts really make sure that they are driven home. Combine that with quizzes and practical examples and the concepts really start to sit in.

Against all odds, a team of one made it! Sometimes, a true challenge turns into a valuable learning experience and a worthy contribution to your organization. Thank you Green Dot Group!

I’ve learned about many of these tools individually but never in a formal setting that bridged each step of the Change Management Process together. I feel like I have life-long tools to help me taken on change and sustain the change efforts until change is needed again!

I appreciate that I am able to take this right away and implement it with the handouts and tools to be successful in advocating for change. Thank you, Green Dot!

Good introduction to 5S

This has been a very informative class!

It was a satisfying process to walk through the Design Thinking training! The use of examples really helped concepts stick. I also really appreciated that there were so many downloadable tools included.

I continue to enjoy and love learning the processes of what it takes to start and carry out a project.

Organizational change is challenging, but when you are able to get team members to agree on a common set of principles to drive change, while thinking systemically about how change impacts the org as a whole, the process gets easier. Grateful our team is taking on this collective learning. We are already seeing the payoff.

I believe my favorite part is learning about processes that help reduce waste and how ways to improve processes in our organization.

I appreciate having a formal treatment of this topic. It should really help any organization to align on established best practices and use a common language. I’m looking forward to improving how we improve.

We had the opportunity to complete this in one of my classes. It will be very beneficial to have this knowledge when going out into the workforce.

Great course that gives a great baseline overview of LSS

Good thorough content and infographics!

The White Belt Certification was very helpful to begin thinking about how to become an agent for change and process improvement within a company or organization.

I really enjoyed the Meeting Management Fundamentals. I got a lot out of it.

The white belt is an interesting platform and I anticipate being able to build new ways of viewing my work

I just went through this training and immediately applied it to an interview question this week! They search committee was impressed and expressed interest in learning more. I believe it helped me to land the second-round interview! Thanks, Green Dot!

Mr. West spearheaded quality improvement training for our leadership team and members of our quality council. The focus of the training was to help our leaders and caregivers evaluate and improve organizational processes to create a world-class patient experience, increase process reliability, and enhance workforce satisfaction. Learners enrolled in the course discovered new ways to approach problem-solving and the mindset to make and lead change. The partnership was a success, with learners commencing from the 2021 cohort. To assist in our relentless pursuit of excellence, Mr. West will facilitate a second cohort Yellow Belt Training to evaluate, prioritize, and execute… Read more “Spearheaded Quality Improvement Program”
