As a MBB deploying Six Sigma across our global business, the combination of the Healthcheck and the Masterclass course gave me a comprehensive deployment framework to align, confirm and communicate our Six Sigma strategy."
Ian Smith, MBB, Huntsman Pigments
"Six Sigma is a systematic approach with defined structures and methods, but it is the people who carry it, built on management commitment and participant skills, enthusiasm and endurance. Therefore implementing Six Sigma has a lot to do with making things happen through sensing the right direction in different national and organisational cultures – Catalyst has that rare and unique ability."

"Very personal and presented in a professional but relaxed manner. Sigma methodology very interesting and for me personally, pulls together many areas of my work into a more structured format. Glad that tools and template were supplied to make the course more visual. All areas of business covered and was interesting how this system works across all businesses, not just manufacturing. Great venue, especially if you are travelling from the North".
