EQUITY PROJECTS

The cornerstone of the Six Sigma Racial Equity Institute™ (SSREI)  Green Belt program is a Six Sigma project. The program participants apply their new skills to a project after successfully passing a knowledge exam.

​​

Our primary focus is the professional growth of the participants. At the same time, we also focus on successful outcomes for employers (profit and non-profit). Our data demonstrates that our Six Sigma approach produces positive and equitable results that benefit all stakeholders.

​

For the next cohort, we would love the opportunity to come alongside your equity work. You can start the process by submitting a project idea for consideration. Remember - the focus is equity!  You may click the button below to submit your idea or continue reading the project examples. We would love to work with you!
