10 Common Mistakes That Slow Down Six Sigma Projects

Have you ever started a Lean Six Sigma project with great motivation, only to find yourself stuck somewhere along the DMAIC journey? In this solo episode, I share 10 common challenges I've encountered while coaching Yellow Belts, Green Belts, and Black Belts, along with practical tips on how to overcome them. From securing sponsor commitment and collecting the right data to identifying root causes, implementing improvements, and sustaining results, every phase of DMAIC comes with its own challenges. I'll explain why keeping things simple, taking a pragmatic approach to statistical analysis, and involving the right people at the right time can make a significant difference in your project's success. We'll also explore why great improvement ideas don't always translate into action, how to maintain momentum throughout the project, and why celebrating success is an important part of building a continuous improvement culture. Finally, I'll share one simple tip that can help you significantly shorten your project timeline by planning ahead and securing your team's availability from the very beginning.
