Is a full time Black Belt better equipped than a part time Black Belt?
Yes—in the competition for people’s time, the “regular job” always wins, so the Six Sigma projects must become the Black Belt’s regular job, at least for the duration of the project. Organizations have learned that Black Belts are more successful when they are removed from all or part of their regular duties and assigned to their improvement or (re)design projects. A Black Belt may work on more than one project.
