Six Sigma Green Belt Training helped me understand why projects fail. I was employed in logistics industry for more than 10 years and experienced numerous problems with differnet projects and on different positions I was hired on. After completing the lean green belt training, I am aware of the things my company and I have been missing all these years and the reasons of difficulties we have been encountering working on projects. I am now planning to take the Six Sigma black belt training, since I have had positive experience with lean green belt training.
