[I'll post this here, as it may create $$ for those who consult and work in process improvement.]
Anyone on the forum with process certifications such as Six Sigma, or LEAN, or Did you find it truly valuable? In what context did you receive the certification? Did it help you become a better business person, better leader, a better change agent in your company / organization? Which certification would you recommend, if you're familiar with more than one? Cost? Time requirements? Any downsides? Suggested reading / books / web sites?
In sum ... if you have such a certification, how do you now view continuous improvement / best practices / excellence in business management? Was it worth it?
Or, are these certifications more along the lines of the business book flavor-of-the-month BS, so common in popular business lore?
Thanks.
