Improvement Practitioner: Leading Improvement
This programme is ideal for those responsible for the delivery and coaching of improvement activity within their area of authority. Improvement Practitioners use a blend of Lean and Six Sigma, project and change management principles and tools to identify and lead the delivery of change across organisational functions and processes.
Typically, Practitioners lead end to end projects tackling issues that may require swift problem solving, or re-occurring challenges that require in-depth analysis and the implementation of a range of effective and sustainable countermeasures. They are the focal point for all stakeholders and responsible for communication throughout a project.
The Improvement Practitioner programme provides your employees with the skills, knowledge, and behaviours to:
- Work in accordance with organisational controls and statutory regulations
- Identify and prioritise factors, ideas and solutions
- Select and apply the appropriate graphical tool dependent on the data type to identify patterns, trends and signals to establish hypothesis
- Plan designed experiment with clear objectives, and appropriate levels of Measurement Systems Analysis, analyse experiment data and optimise
- Conduct structured benchmarking to support target setting
Value Added Delivery
Qualification CQM T&C can underpin the delivery of the apprenticeship programmes with a Lean Six Sigma qualification.

Mentors We can help identify, and advise on a suitable Mentor within your organisation. We are able to provide coaching to the nominated Mentor so that they fully understand their role and what will be required of them, but also understand the guidelines within which they operate and to whom they report.
