No it doesn't. The registration from this page covers all of the training delivered by George and the 9SF team with the exception of:

(a) The Advanced Presentation and Group Influence Bootcamp which is delivered in conference format, and

(b) Any external training requirement to attain the MBB qualification.

Part 1 encompasses all of the training that you complete through direct access to content on this 9 Skills Factory training platform.

 

Part 2 was separated from Part 1 to allow for the delivery of the Advanced Presentation and Group Influence Boot Camp in conference format over 5.5 days. One of the greatest impacts from the COVID19 pandemic was the constant closing of borders and facilities so we were forced to adapt to the ongoing changes and develop multiple options for delivery of that final element.

PIt's important to recognise that all of the elements of training in the program are stand alone courses that can be attended or completed by anyone.

Any candidate can complete Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the program and earn a qualification in Global Leadership skills.

 

In order to attain the MBB qualification, the candidate must be a qualified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Anyone can undertake the training without any pre-requisites and work towards a qualification in Global Leadership skills.

However, in order to undertake the MBB program and earn the qualification of Master Black Belt, candidates must be (a) qualified as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt at a level acceptable to George Lee Sye, and (b) be certified as a Level 1 Business Improvement Coach.

We know the course is quite extensive. And so it should be, it is the highest level of qualification you can achieve in business improvement and needs to reflect a high level of competency.

That said, the longest part of the full program has already been done if you are qualified as a LSSBB.

 

This MBB phase of development can then be completed in as short a time period as 6 months which also includes the processing work of George to confirm competency for the various elements.

Although we prefer it is completed within a 12-month cycle, we would always consider a case for deferring the program on its own merits.

When we run through our green belt pro and black belt pro coaching programs, participants lodge micro and macro assignments according to a predetermined schedule over 26 week periods.

In the MGL and MBB programs, candidates lodge one assignment per element; ideally upon completion of each of the elements.

 

Each assignment is then reviewed and feedback provided in a timely manner for that particular element.

Ideally you will lodge assignments as soon as they are completed. We'd prefer you did not hold them all until the end of the program.

George reviews all assignments lodged by candidates and will provide tailored feedback at that time.

 

He will discuss what should be continued as it is clearly good practice, and what you might do to ramp up the quality to a higher level.

 

Where a gap is identified and requires review of the assignment work, personal guidance will be provided by George on how to go about that and he will work with you until it is complete.

These programs are not intended to make you a better technical person, or better black belt if you are in BI.

 

That's something anyone can do by simply adding in more technical content.

 

The purpose of these MGL and MBB programs is to enhance leadership skills for one objective - to make you the most effective agent of change that we can.

 

This is what industry really seeks and this is what will position you different from and above others for leadership positions you seek in the future.

You will need access to the following.

 

1. The internet,

 

2. A computer with at least the MS Office suite of applications (Mac users need access to Apple's equivalent office applications),

 

3. A way of recording on video (I.e. phone, GoPro camera, DSLR etc), and

 

4. A means for sharing large files such as .mp4 videos with the assignment assessor.

 

We will provide guidance on video editing and file size reduction if requested.

No, we do not support transfers.
