When a few individual courses aren’t enough, Green Dot helps organizations build a shared improvement language, practical skills, and the confidence to solve real problems together.
We design learning around the capability your organization actually needs to build — and how people will use it after class ends.
● Live, virtual, self-paced, or blended delivery
● Practical application to your organization’s work
● Programs for cohorts, leaders, teams, and internal trainers
● Built-in reinforcement so learning can stick
Practical. Designed for real work.
Applied. Learn by doing.
Flexible. Built around your organization.
Organizations usually need more than access to content. They need people to learn the same language, practice the same methods, and connect new skills to the work that matters.
Give teams a common way to talk about problems, process, value, experimentation, and improvement.
Move beyond awareness by applying tools and thinking to real workplace challenges during the learning experience.
Connect learning to leader expectations, coaching, project work, and follow-up so capability becomes part of how work gets done.
Start with a proven Green Dot program, combine delivery methods, or design something around your organization’s specific capability gap.
Build capability across a defined group with a structured learning journey, practice, coaching, and shared milestones.
Focused live learning built around a specific problem, capability, or organizational priority.
Combine Green Dot e-learning with live facilitation, application work, office hours, and coaching.
Build the internal capability to teach, coach, reinforce, and sustain improvement methods after Green Dot steps away.
Programs can be delivered as established offerings or configured into a broader capability-development roadmap.
We begin by understanding what people need to do differently, then build the learning experience around that outcome.
Clarify the audience, business need, desired behaviors, and capability gap.
Select the right content, delivery model, application work, and reinforcement.
Facilitate practical learning that connects directly to your organization’s work.
Use coaching, practice, leader reinforcement, and follow-up to help the learning stick.
Delivery can be shaped around geography, schedule, cohort size, and the level of application support your learners need.
Live facilitation, hands-on practice, and direct connection to your workplace.
Interactive cohort learning without requiring everyone to travel.
Scaled access to Green Dot’s Learning Library with a common learning path.
Combine self-paced learning, live sessions, coaching, and applied assignments.
See the reach, learner feedback, and participation behind Green Dot learning experiences.
Organizational learning is most valuable when people apply what they learn to real work, real projects, and real improvement opportunities.
A live selection of verified learner feedback, refreshed automatically as new testimonials are approved.
I see how this can create a more efficient and free-flowing work environment in order to promote success and meet goals.
I enjoyed learning about the 5s’s and look forward to creating a streamlined process for workflows that I currently use.
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.
punctual information, interesting statist vocabulary and definition and graphics to represent the data and easy interpretation. very important to collection, demonstration e interpretation of results of data and important tools to discovery and resolve issues.
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!
Good course, great way to teach these concepts
I love how the process and concepts were represented visually with graphics and worksheets. There were multiple examples of each part of the process including the definition and real-world examples of the steps.
Green Dot has been informative and easy to understand throughout my training.
I really appreciated this experience! The bite sized steps and regular meetings helped keep us accountable to progress. I feel confident continuing to implement our learnings outside of this initial project and am excited to see how our colleagues continue to leverage this experience. Katherine was an excellent teacher and resource!
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 believe this training is valuable and relevant in many environments, both work and outside work.
I learned a lot about structuring the work we do for maximum internal and external customer benefit. I’m excited to pitch some ideas and get in a continuous improvement mindset. Tom, Carol, and Mark were a wealth of information.
the Leader Standard Work course, and it’s excellent—definitely a 5-star course! This is the most in-depth content I’ve seen on the topic, providing a comprehensive and practical guide for leaders looking to implement structured daily practices. The pledge to commit to Leader Standard Work is a standout feature, reinforcing accountability and making the content actionable. The real-world examples are also incredibly valuable, offering clear insights into what effective Leader Standard Work looks like in practice. Overall, it’s a well-structured, insightful, and practical course that sets a high standard for Leader Standard Work training.
This introduction to Change Management has been very information. I look forward to putting the various Change Management tools of good use and reaping the fruitage that successful change management can bring to our organization.

Everything was easy to go through, I liked that it gave both printed and video options.
my introduction to these yellow belt and green classes are very educational and interesting plus beneficial for future use. The tools provided are a great source of information to implement in every situation work and maybe home life.
I continue to enjoy and love learning the processes of what it takes to start and carry out a project.
The training and certification was helpful and helped me to understand the overall process of quality improvement!
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!
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!
Straight forward and easy to understand approach to problem solving; Practical and consistent
This was very informative and all the videos helped as well.
I have previously taken a yellow belt Lean Six Sigma course but it has been roughly ten years ago and I no longer had the materials to guide me. This course was wonderful at freely sharing easy to understand resources and education on Six Sigma.
Great information on data types, collection, and interpretation.
This course was insightful. I learned new acronyms and different terms for improvement. The course materials were simple and easy to understand. Overall it was truly a good educational experience.
A good course to get your feet wet with Lean Six Sigma concepts, identifying different types of waste, and the various improvement cycles used by Six Sigma like DMAIC, PDCA, and more.
The 5S process is so simple that I cant believe that I have been missing this in my digital world.
Great course! This prepared me to begin my Yellow Belt journey.
A great leadership training. I will use the information within my team.
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!
This was a wonderful way to review the basics of Six Sigma.
Very similar to the training I got through school, but definitely presented in a way that is easier to understand. Learned that a semester-long course could pretty much be summed up in this 1 hour course
I felt the course was very informative, and gave a different viewpoint when conducting my daily tasks to see where we can approve as a department. I’m thankful to the organization for providing me this opportunity.
Valuable information learned that will be utilized both professionally and personally. Great content and easy to follow course.
With so many different types of data for our organization, I loved how there are a lot of options on what type of charts and different ways to measure. Understanding our data will be very interesting, also interesting for our team to see.
This course and all of the tools are really helpful and will be utilized as I work on future improvement projects.

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.
At the 2024 HSPI Conference in Atlanta, I participated in the design thinking workshop that provided me with enlightening and transformative knowledge. Tom West was a very engaging facilitator who gave the participants a collaborative and creative thinking atmosphere. The workshop not only provided valuable tools, handouts, examples, and techniques for problem-solving but also instilled a deeper understanding of empathy-driven design. Through hands-on templates and Tom’s hair-cutting case study with him and his boys, I gained invaluable insights into user-centric approaches that have since revolutionized my thinking on human-centered design thinking to innovation. Tom’s expertise and passion for design thinking… Read more “That Human Centered Design Spark for Igniting Business Brilliance”

I did like the training. It is very informative
I appreciate the layout of the material. It is easy to follow and the graphics help. More often than not the actual website would not fully load information or all the graphics. It made it a little difficult. The teachers were very thorough and always there for support.
I enjoyed learning the basics on the Lean Six Sigma and will implement this knowledge in my future practice
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.
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”

I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to learn through these training sessions. The information provided will help me to continue improving the production and performance of my department.
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!
Love all the tool templates. Easy to understand content. Thank you!
A well thought out guide through the concepts Six Sigma Yellow Belt covers
This training was very informative and great knowledge to add to my bank!
Looking forward to seeing real world application of these tools during in person training this week
I thought the course was informational and helpful for the first step of learning Six Simga training.
I found value in all of the information that was presented to me for the White Belt Certification.
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”

This course was such an incredibly rewarding experience. The well-structured platform and comprehensive course material made it easy to learn at my own pace while ensuring a thorough understanding of each concept. Collaborative opportunities with fellow participants and prompt support from facilitators created a sense of community and guidance. Equipped with a solid foundation in Six Sigma, I am now equipped with invaluable knowledge and skills for personal and professional growth. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of process improvement and quality management.

I am glad I had the opportunity to have learned about 5S. I feel that it will impact me positively in the workplace.
Course was very thorough and easy to follow.
I am grateful to have been able to go through this course. These tools have been extremely beneficial and helped our team really take a deeper look at the issue and possible solutions. I look forward to using these tools with future projects.
I think the course was helpful. Some of the material is a little bit repetitive, but overall I learned a lot.
The course is great! The information is easily digestible and explained very well.
I think it’s a great way to help individuals and groups understand the basics of self-evaluation and improvement
Absolutely loved the deliverables + educational downloads from the course. Helps me to better understand how to incorporate continuous improvement into my organization’s structure.
Some training leaves you with a binder and a feeling of overwhelm. This one left me thinking, “I can actually do this.” The Standard Work course found that rare sweet spot between satisfying the improvement nerd and understanding the human side of leadership. I love that they teach that it’s not just about processes but the people inside them. No unnecessary complexity. No fluff. Just easy to understand tools and concepts you can take back to your team immediately. If you lead people every day, this is absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend!

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.
The mix of reading and videos and interactive exercises is a great way to present this material in an online course. It helped me stay engaged. The sections are nice sized so it makes it easy to work a little, step away, and come right back to continue the course.
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.
The A3 was key! This is now my go to tool for problem solving!
Broken down into segments that are easy to learn. I feel like this was a really good introduction to lean six sigma.
I have really enjoyed learning a better way to make improvements to our office and procedures.
This training is very informative and a great introduction into the Belt series Training. I learned so much in terms of the type of processes needed to help an organization run at its most effective.
Felt it was a good framework to have people understand a common ground in terms of their expectation and what is appropriate to meet the needs of the client.
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.
Was educated on the potential wastes that can decrease the efficiency of a business. This will help increase my leadership skills by increasing the productivity of the therapists.
Good UI and easy to follow educational content
This 5S training provides specific steps to organize workspaces. It also could be used at home!
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get started with Six Sigma or simply gain a deeper understanding of process management. It’s an excellent first step toward mastering the skills that drive organizational success
The Yellow Belt Training was very informative and easy to navigate. I liked the different means of assessment used throughout the course to check understanding.
This is such an exciting to know Jane Pauley is dedicated to nurturing the growth of the leadership so we can better support our teams. This ultimately allows us to better serve our patients and the community around us.
This course has helped me excel and become talented in a few different areas in the world of Lean 6 Sigma. Most specifically SMART goal statements. An example is that I have lots of projects and big goals that I have had and are currently working on. Understanding the ins and outs of smart goals has made me a great leader. Being able to complete these projects more efficiently by not wasting time on unneeded parts of the projects has been a very valuable skill.
Easy to understand, the videos are also helpful, and I enjoy the ideas being presented
I am looking forward to using this training in my organization to improve our customer support.
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 tremendous entry-level course laid out what future curriculum may include. 10/10 would recommend it!
This short introduction provides a clear picture of what continuous improvement is and why it is important. More organizations should take notice and practice this! As intended, it is an entry level to provide an introduction, common terminology, types of waste, and approaches to problem identification and how to experiment with solutions.
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!
The white belt is an interesting platform and I anticipate being able to build new ways of viewing my work
I enjoyed how clearly laid out the information and systems were. I hadn’t heard of most of these systems, so getting a good idea into the thought processes behind leadership decision making is super interesting
I can now contribute to my organizations change management journey.
This course was amazing. It is an in-depth course that teaches sponsors what they need to know, do, look for and ask to help ensure project success.
Easy and digestible learning that could be picked up and put down as time allowed
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.
I recently completed the e-learning Design Thinking course from The Green Dot Group, and it has been a game-changer in how I approach problem-solving and innovation. The course was expertly structured, providing clear and actionable insights into each phase of the Design Thinking process—from empathizing with users to prototyping and testing solutions. What I appreciated most was the interactive elements and real-world examples that made the content not only engaging but immediately applicable. The Green Dot Group team has done an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into digestible lessons, and I walked away with a toolkit that I… Read more “Transforming Problem-Solving with The Green Dot Group’s Design Thinking Course”
I enjoy your learning format. Videos mixed with illustrations and text work well.
The course was very helpful in providing excellent tools for reviewing problematic processes and coming up with an approach for process improvement. The language was easy to understand and key concepts were very relatable. Feels like some of the content could have been condensed which may have helped retention a bit but overall very good information.
There is a lot of information to take in. The course is very informative.
I found the training to be extremely beneficial and easy to understand. The templates are what provide the most value. One delta I have is to provide completed examples for some of the templates. For example, when learning about the A3, it would be invaluable to see a completed version to gain better understanding of the expected presentation form and guidance on how to communicate Boxes 1 & 2 especially. Without it your flailing to understand how to best present the information. I understand that different tools can be used but seeing a completed example would help to gain a… Read more “I found the training beneficial”
I like the concept, I wish there were real life examples and short problems to implement out learning.
I wasn’t sure if I’d find value from a framework that started in a factory in my variable digital job, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn some new principles that will be super helpful in the teams I lead and the conversations I have with leadership. The course is laid out in an easily digestible format that I was able to work into my free windows at work without losing track or feeling like I had to commit huge blocks of time.
I liked that the videos were short and that the text following them reinforced key concepts. The repetition helped the ideas stick.
All of the courses have been great. They have all provided lots of great information and tools to use in the workplace. Also, each class has been interactive and fun.
This is a great course to learn about effective ways to cut waste and add more value to workplace proccess.
This training provided a clear, actionable framework that goes beyond theory. I now have the tools to standardize our instruction, improve our processes, and build stronger relationships within my team. It’s exactly what we needed to drive better results.
Quick basic easy to follow overview
Liked learning from the course, and enjoyed the conversation with the expert afterwards.
Great systematic approach to make change and improve processes.
Very good course learned about the 5S things that I probably would not have thought about without this course
Our experience with Tom and The Green Dot Consulting Group has been nothing short of amazing. This training course is a great preview for our first time participating in our own design thinking session!
These courses were engaging and educational to implement on a daily basis.
I enjoyed learning how to approach addressing problems that create waste. I am big fan of efficiency, so I am a big fan of Lean Sigma Six.
In my opinion this is the tool I will use the most, very straight forward and easy to read. My team will find this very useful.
Thanks Tom for the enlightenment of this incredible resource! WoW
I recently completed the White Belt training with The Green Dot Group and was thoroughly impressed. The course is well-organized and provides a clear, engaging introduction to Lean Six Sigma principles, making complex concepts easy to understand. The flexibility of the online format allowed me to fit the training into my busy schedule. Overall, it’s an excellent starting point for anyone looking to dive into Lean Six Sigma and drive operational excellence. Highly recommended!
Informational and concise presentation. Maybe more interactive elements (like the flashcard activity) to keep learners engaged.
I thought this was a clear well rounded training to explore waste and ways in which to make a difference in the work place!
I absolutely love the 5S Model. It will be so nice to have everyone on the same page.
Previously, my place of empolyment supported the educational program on Lean Six Sigma. I have obtained a yellow belt but no longer had the hard copies of these documents. I naturally think about improving processes, projects, etc. but having this refresher course was beneficial to remind me of the tools and resources that are available to me. Thank you!
This was valuable information and I plan on utilizing all of the worksheets to help me solve an issue of current workflow from the start to the finish of an appointment.
The course is well structured. The combination of words, graphics and video helped me understand the concept and kept me interested.
I’m eager to apply the resources and tools provided to see what efficiencies I can gain.
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 content delivery supports various types of learning. I enjoyed applying the information by matching real-life examples to the terms.
I found that the materials to support White Belt education were provided in bite size digestible increments. Delivering content in multiple formats, written, audio, and video was helpful to reinforce ideas and ingrain learning. Thank you for making this learning accessible.
I think this was very thorough. I loved the written explanation with supplemental information.
The 5s are a tool that can be applied to almost any aspect of your life you want to see an improvement in.
Thank you for the steps you have provided to help me grow as a leader! Leadership presents difficulties daily and every opportunity to learn is a gift. I’m thankful for this experience.
GreenDot’s Managing for Daily Improvement Training module is a must for all leaders, from the front lines to executive levels. In order to achieve a true culture of continuous improvement, you have to have an engaged workforce. The methodology GreenDot is teaching in Managing for Daily Improvement will help you create that engagement if taken seriously. Engaged people are happy people Happy people are productive people Happy people tend not to leave your company !
This course has been an essential portion of my knowledge of Lean Six Sigma. I look forward to using this newly learned ideas in the workplace.
The Yellow Belt course has been quick and easy to follow.
Great course! The content was clear, practical, and easy to follow. I also appreciated the downloadable tools! Very helpful!
This was an informative way of keeping clients and internal employees in mind while change takes effect.
Thank you for making Lean Six Sigma so accessible! I now feel confident using these tools to enhance our organization and streamline my own processes and workflows.

The course was a great high level on project management process and the use of continuous improvement tools.
This was pretty good! really liked the different brainstorming lessons, not a big fan of the focus on history mainly because I think Henry Ford was a prick.
This program provided a basis for understanding quality improvement. I appreciate the variety of resources to cater to different learning styles.
Well outlined process for continuous improvement and setting the way in which you start to think about reducing waste and delivering more value.
helpful process that can be applied to many aspects of life
This course was outlined perfectly. Even though it was online, the visuals provided were a great example.
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.
I enjoyed Thomas West as my Green Belt trainer. He cares about his students and go beyond in expectations. I highly recommend Tom.
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.
Green Dot has always been a resource to me throughout my career.
Katherine Bosma led us through and supported our Yellow Belt Certification/project. She was very thorough and thought-provoking. I feel as though the tools provided were useful in my everyday setting and look forward to applying them moving forward.
It put things in a different perspective when it comes to what can make the job more efficient. I was able to identify different types of waste, throughout the job, that I didnt realize were waste. Then gives the tools to make the process better.
Training material was easy to follow. The information covered can be used in my day to day life both professionally and personally.
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!
Very knowledgeable and great for teaching me how to improve my own processes in and out of work as well.
Completing the Six Sigma White Belt certification was a valuable learning experience. The course provided a clear introduction to process improvement concepts, problem-solving techniques, and the importance of reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Great course. Very helpful. Website was having error issues and was crashing though (so that is only reason why didn’t give 5 star). So, if there was to be improvement, I’d recommend that. Otherwise enjoying the content!
I enjoyed the Introduction to Change Management portal course and it is a great foundation for setting the stage as to why change management and how to introduce the topic/gain buy-in.
Greetings, Masters of Greenbelt! I’m incredibly energized by the data-driven frameworks and optimization strategies you’ve armed me with—I feel like I’ve just unlocked a new skill tree in management. I’ve recently been assigned Jamie’s department alongside my own, and I now feel like a multi-classed character balancing dual departments. Currently, “free time” feels like a rare spawn, but with a complete party of stellar staffing and a dependable Team Lead, I’m confident that our guild (my team) can achieve a high success rate on every quest. Thank you for sharing these resources—it feels like upgrading from leather armor to mithril.… Read more “Everyone – Everyday”
I really enjoyed the Design Thinking training, both because of the content and because of the ease of use that Green Dot provided. I was able to take notes right on the same page, I could favorite my favorite lessons (interpreted: I wasn’t creating a notebook to copy content or taking photos to remember recommendations), I could print all of the resources to create my own manual, and the videos summarized but also provided life to the content I read on the page. Really enjoyable and the only thing I can think of that would be beneficial is putting together… Read more “A Training that Anticipated my Learning Needs”
The course helped emphasize the importance of effective solution design. I found this course to be particularly helpful in structuring the thought process around how to create a solution that meets customers needs. In some cases, it can be easy to rush through the solution phase, and I think that the focus on factors that should be considered prior to selecting and implementing an appropriate solution were beneficial.
I was able to learn a lot of new skills to eliminate waste. I appreciate learning the history behind the whole problem solving ideas people of created. I know that I am still learning all of this information and still computing. I look forward to being able to think outside of the box with this new information to create better work flow. Thank You!
Great tips and information about change management. Found the change management tools section especially interesting.
The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training was amazing. It was so helpful and will provide many benefits to how I do my job, but also to how our company works. This course provides many useful tools and makes it very experiential, so that the lessons learned can be applied easily in the future.
Great course that gives a great baseline overview of LSS
A very compact and easy to follow course. Looking forward to going deeper into the Lean Six Sigma processes.
The training was easy to follow and provided great tools for helping with quality improvement processes!
Great job delineating between the difference of white vs yellow belt. Loved the depth it went into on waste, A3, and 5S components!
Truly enjoyed the interactive learning process of understanding the lean six sigma process!
Short course that helps launch a beginning meeting facilitator or serves as reminder for the seasoned professional. I even found a new tool that I’m excited to try!
The training is broken down into understandable text and visual representation of ideas. I appreciate the video explanations paired throughout and downloadable templates for future application.
Great information provided very succinctly!
This has been a very informative class!
Enjoyed this introduction to Lean Six Sigma. Looking forward to learning more.
Very thorough insight on project sponsorship and project management
Participating in the Green Dot White Belt Training has strengthened my awareness, responsibility, and commitment to creating a safer, more accountable system of care within Turning Point System of Care. This training has provided me with a deeper understanding of the power of proactive engagement and the importance of recognizing both immediate risks and systemic gaps that may contribute to harm or inefficiency. As a Discharge Coordination Navigator, I regularly interact with internal teams and external partners, which places me in a unique position to identify voids within our current processes. Through this training, I have become more intentional in… Read more “Participating in the Green Dot”
Over all a very interesting and informative program. Adding more voice overs and matching activities would improve my learning.
This truly transformed my approach to problem-solving and encourages creativity and innovation. I like the empathy customer-focused approach, all while thinking outside the box. The downloadable templates and examples are so helpful – it helped me grasp the core principles of empathy, ideation and prototyping.
I’m happy to have participated in this course. Easy to understand instruction and valuable training.
The course was straightforward and offered multiple tools and frameworks I can easily apply in my work.
I’ve done a few yellow belt trainings at other companies and this one included much more relevant examples than others. Thanks!
Thorough and exhaustive. Some quizzes can feel a bit esoteric, but all in all knowledge worth having.
Great course with lots of helpful resources and actionable suggestions. Found that the platform displayed content a bit wonky at some points but overall a super easy and optimized experience.
Fantastic coaching and mentoring from the Green Dot Group in guiding my whole team through the Yellow Belt training. We have walked away from this experience with a shared methodology for problem solving. Five Stars!
The entire training was wonderful, well described, theoretically related to actual experiences I learned alot about six sigma and PI index and how to become an effective leader
I love the train-at-your-pace setup in addition to the written and video coursework.
This is a great course for anyone looking to improve their skills in meeting management. Very detailed and straight to the point.
As I completed the final module and reflected, I realized that this course reminded me of tools and approaches to problems that add empathy and creativity to my process improvement background and approaches. This therefore will increase my toolbox when working with different people and initiatives at my organization. Having both an online e-learning ability and then an in person learning/application, truly allows for an all-encompassing learning experience.
I enjoyed my time reading and watching the videos as I prepare for my next steps.
It exposed some weaknesses in our system that prior to this course I would not have thought of changing. Specific examples that I feel need focused on is computer organization, sorting unneeded items, and labeling drawers for easy access.
I have enjoyed learning about Lean Six Sigma and how to obtain my Yellow Belt. Excited to continue on.
The course material was interesting, informative, and easy to follow. My only feedback is that the formatting of the website frequently displayed with text overlaying images and videos.
This is a great intro to Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training! Highly recommended
This course provided a thorough explanation of the 5S process for improving physical and digital workplaces. The information was presented in a way that was easy to understand paired with examples of application and use. I look forward to finding ways to implement in my department workflow.
Lines everything out clearly and effectively. Explains the key concepts with great visuals!
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.

The process of yellow belt training has changed the way that I approach issues. It has helped me reframe my processes from a “do it now, get it done” process to utilizing the processes laid out in this course. It has also helped me better communicate with my staff and our customers.
Helpful and will lead to better flow in the workplace
I really enjoyed the layout of this course. I feel more confident going into our green belt training with a deeper understanding of concepts discusses in the yellow belt process. I also enjoyed the connections made to other methodologies that I’ve seen throughout my career. Thanks!
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.
A great, easy-to-understand explanation of Six Sigma White Belt.
I can appreciate the new perspectives that Green Dot Consulting Group have suggested to better our organization.
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 always enjoy education/training provided by Green Dot. They make it intersting, fun, and keeps you engaged.
Easy to navigate, great training for improvements and communication throughout
The standard work course is extremely useful in training the student how to observe, document, and standardize work processes. It delivers the building blocks of continuous process improvement.
Enjoyed learning about meeting management
A great tool to help bring your workplace into a harmonious flow. Great overview to start the process of learning how to create a more effective workplace for both yourself and your workplace.
Great information provided in a broken down, easy to understand system.

This feat was celebrated this last week by the client organization with presentations by each team to senior leadership, Tom and myself.

The Yellow Belt training has been a wonderful learning opportunity. I love project work and having tools that really assist in laying out the project is so helpfully. The Mentor calls are incredibly beneficial and offer an opportunity to ask questions and to see and hear what the other teams are doing.
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.

I truly enjoyed this Yellow Belt course. The Green Dot platform is easy to use and kept me engaged between the curriculum, videos, attachments, quizzes, and drag-n-drop style questions.

A very thorough and concise course to introduce Six Sigma
Throughout my yellow belt training I found that many of the tools were familiar due to using them in past project, yet a full understand of each tool or the big picture was never developed. Due to my training with the Green Dot Group, I now understand how each tools connects to eliminating waste in our processes and creating value with each project.
I really enjoyed the Meeting Management Fundamentals. I got a lot out of it.
This has been a very easy to understand training course.
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.
