  7. X2 = Project Selections • Selecting the right projects is key to establish early successes and gain buy-in • Align Six Sigma projects to critical business and customer strategies and operating goals • Establish a documented process for a 1-year Six Sigma project hopper refresh

  8. X2 = Project Selections • Establish projects of appropriate size and scope, along with significant savings • Assign a Champion and Black Belt to each project and outline expectations for accountability upfront • Implement a project tracking system to facilitate replication and reuse, this will save you effort in the long run and ensure visibility

  14. X4 = Fully Dedicated Black Belts • Until Deployment Maturity develops it is highly recommended to have your Black Belts be Full Time Positions • Standardize Job Descriptions upfront • Create a Career Ladder so Belts can see the road to growth either into a Business Leader or an MBB
