Six Sigma Black Belts bring in an average salary of $98,000 and can easily command high six-figures. Green Belts earn an average of $72,000 but what puts Six Sigma professionals in high demand goes beyond numbers.

Instead, the merit of Six Sigma Belts lies in their expansive knowledge base, communication skills and ability to effect change. To better understand the demand, we’ll take a look at the most valuable qualities shared by Six Sigma experts.

They’re Clear CommunicatorsSix Sigma Belts, especially Black Belts, take on multiple roles in their organizations, from facilitators to mentors. While Six Sigma is usually most commonly associated with statistics and data, one of its most critical facets is communication. And when wearing multiple hats, a Six Sigma Belt must be prepared to communicate their objectives clearly to multiple audiences without losing the key elements.

Six Sigma belts are renowned for their ability to communicate complicated topics to everyone from stakeholders to employees. However, their capacity to effectively transmit information in both written and spoken word is what sets them apart from other professionals.

They Inspire ProductivityProductivity can mean something different to each employee especially in organizations that have international offices. While the DMAIC process has traditionally been used to optimize processes but it can also measure productivity and create a standard benchmark for employees through the effective leadership of Six Sigma Belts.




A similar tactic was applied in a recent case study, which details the results of support services project in an information technology- business process outsourcing organization. Perhaps the most interesting takeaway is that employees were able to expand the capacity of their service levels to global customers without significantly increasing their expenses through the DMAIC process.

They Save Businesses MoneyThe Six Sigma methodology focuses in part on eliminating wasteful and inefficient processes. More efficient processes drive higher quality processes and products, which eliminate the need for re-inspection and reworking costs. In turn, the training Six Sigma Belts receive prepares them to lead employees in financially responsible projects.

Take for example a recent project lead by the Department of Information Technology Services in El Paso, Texas. Their team is set to save the city $570,000 after using Lean Six Sigma to reduce the cost of internet and telephone services for city employees. This project will save taxpayers money while improving communication services at the same time.

They Keep Things Customer FocusedProcesses and products can only be improved with a comprehension understanding of CTCs, matters that are important to customers and their satisfaction, and CTQs, matters that are important to product or service’s quality (and thereby necessary for CTCs).

Six Sigma Belts are trained to lead organizations to an enhanced product or service that meets their customers’ visions of quality each and every time. Thus, businesses that value customer satisfaction value the expertise of Six Sigma specialist.
