“The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program sharpened my understanding of waste beyond obvious inefficiencies. It emphasized looking at non-value-added activities through the lens of the customer or end user. This shift in mindset has made me more thoughtful about eliminating steps or tasks that don’t contribute meaningfully to outcomes.”

– Natasha Poularikas Director, Master of Science in Supply Chain Management, The University of Oklahoma
