What Is Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Certification?

A Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (MBB) is an advanced level of Lean Six Sigma expertise focused on leading improvement strategy, developing internal capability and guiding complex transformation initiatives.

While a Green Belt may contribute to an improvement project and a Black Belt may lead individual projects, a Master Black Belt looks at the bigger picture - how improvement initiatives can be selected, deployed, managed and sustained across functions or an entire organization.

Master Black Belt capability combines advanced problem-solving knowledge with leadership, coaching, project governance, performance management and continuous improvement strategy.

It is particularly relevant for professionals who want to move from executing improvement projects to building and leading a culture of operational excellence.
