Champion: Selecting and Sponsoring Projects
One day for the executives who launch or sponsor Lean Six Sigma projects. It teaches how to choose the projects that matter, agree a realistic charter with the Belt, remove obstacles along the way and validate the gains, without going into statistics. The project portfolio is built from your company's own objectives and indicators.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Champion need to master statistics?
No. They must be able to read a charter, ask the right questions in reviews and judge whether a conclusion rests on data. Statistical tools remain the business of Green Belts and Black Belts.
Why train sponsors?
Because a project without an active sponsor stops at the first difficult decision: team availability, access to the line, a change to equipment. The Champion removes these obstacles and validates the gains with management control.
Can we run this day with the full management committee?
Yes, it is even the most useful format: projects are selected in the room, and each director leaves with the projects they sponsor.
