Level 4 – Improvement Practitioner (Green Belt)

Improvement Practitioners use a blend of Lean and Six Sigma, project and change management principles and tools to identify and lead the delivery of change across organisational functions and processes. Improvement Practitioners can be found across all sectors and functions including automotive, banking, engineering, food products, IT, property, retail, telecoms, Local and County Councils, NHS, Voluntary / Charity, Utilities, Pharmaceuticals, Insurance, Hospitality etc.​

Typically, Practitioners lead smaller projects and/or play a key supporting role in a larger programme – tackling issues that may require swift problem solving, or re-occurring challenges that require in-depth analysis and the implementation of a range of effective and sustainable countermeasures.  They are the focal point for all stakeholders and responsible for communication throughout a project. Typical activities include:

• Identifying potential opportunities, diagnosing issues, proposing solutions, and implementing changes and controls
• Coaching teams and sharing best practice

When leading projects they may manage small teams ensuring motivation and momentum and be responsible for the successful completion of the project.
