Lead Like a Black Belt

In about 40 minutes you'll learn the exact improvement method I was trained in — find the bottleneck, measure one thing, fix it in a two-week loop — scaled down to fit a business with no spare people and no spare time. In 2017 I earned my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt at Purdue, and since then I've spent my career leading teams and teaching inside large, complex organizations. Here's the secret those organizations know and small businesses rarely get told: operations don't improve because someone works harder. They improve because someone sees the work clearly, measures one honest number, and fixes the smallest thing that matters — then does it again. This training hands you that method, minus the jargon and the binders. You'll map one real process from your business, find where it actually gets stuck, and run a two-week improvement loop on it. This is the thinking underneath everything Ignite does — including the AI work. Tools come and go. This doesn't. — Jake Jones, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (Purdue, 2017), Ignite Consulting
