My company has a green belt class starting up and before I start fighting for a spot, I thought I would ask if they are still worth the trouble
your LSS project was hindered by LSS processes? woah now.Ulrich said:
Pro: The theory is good and I learned some good things in the training and via leading a green belt project, particularly on the planning and coordination side.
Con: In practice there seems to be wasted time and effort that goes along with having an LSS "organization". It also seems to be a bit of a magnet for people trying to fill the gap between their abilities and their ambitions with credentials and jargon. I actually pulled my project out of the LSS program because they were endangering real world deadlines by adding a lot of unnecessary steps and documentation.
Depending on your company and how committed they are, it may be a good career move to participate.
