The Role Of The Champion In Six Sigma
Six Sigma improvement projects can succeed only when organizational roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and aligned. The trained Black Belts and Green Belts can work well, but if the Champions and Master Black Belts lack training, they will not contribute to the project. The Champion has to play an active role in the Six Sigma project right from project selection to implementation. They are the key members for successful Six Sigma deployments. Champions have to undertake various responsibilities, from providing guidance to the Master Black Belts and other members to eliminating roadblocks that may arise at different stages of the project. The Champions play an important role of defusing any issues that arise between Black Belts and other members of the organization. Overall, they have to be the buffer that keeps the Black Belts from confrontation with top management. Black Belts can thus focus on their activities, and the Champion can tackle the issues that are roadblocks to project success.
