SKEMA – MSc Supply Chain Management (Spring 2025, English Group 1 · Paris)
Congratulations! You’re now officially certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belts of SKEMA Business School.
Tools and curricula don’t teach—people do. Students consistently say the difference-maker is the professor’s clarity, availability, and fairness. This semester, that showed up as ~93% overall and ~93% across all eight teaching dimensions (objectives, content, grading, materials, methods, skills, availability, attitude) and 100% certification success.
We designed an instructor-led, learner-centered program to build critical knowledge, people skills, analytical competence, and problem-solving, grounded in current research and high classroom engagement.
This cohort also benefited from the heritage of MIT’s former Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI), which I have served as an active member of and a unique collaboration across government, industry, and academia.
Parts of the course materials were graciously provided by Boeing, Lockheed Martin, MIT (LAI), Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins, Textron, The New Excellence, and ECLEE.
Grateful to Russell Coombs (late), my mentor and teacher, CEO of The New Excellence, Earll Murman (MIT (ret)/LAI), and Jacqueline Candido (LAI/EdNet) for their guidance and support.
To my students: You proved that when teaching quality meets learner commitment, results follow. Take these tools to your projects—measure what matters, reduce waste, elevate quality—and keep driving business transformation.
Special thanks to SKEMA Business School for creating an environment that fosters a teaching culture aligned with industry, evidence-based, learner-centered, and characterized by rigorous evaluation and strong faculty support, enabling students to turn theory into practice.
