Since the program began, the Center for Learning has trained 36 black belts, 124 green belts & 7 Master Black Belts. In conjunction with Six Sigma & Lean training, employees acquire valuable change management skills by taking classes in change acceleration process & fast track decision making. Change acceleration process is a philosophy & tool set designed to help overcome cultural barriers to change by creating a shared need, shaping a vision, & mobilizing commitment. Fast track decision making (North Shore's version of GE work-out) is a rapid problem solving approach with team involvement and in-meeting decisions. It is a catalyst for change focusing on the process to drive improvement and empowering the people closest to the process to develop & implement appropriate solutions.
