Yesterday’s post mentioned that to succeed in your Six Sigma project, you need to learn the skills of the methodology. What better way to learn it than through training or certification—be a Black Belt, for example—and read up on all the good books that you can get. Also, to be true the principles of Six Sigma, you have to constantly learn and improve your skills.
