NGS Motto: “Success You Can Measure”
Among higher education institutions, NGS is distinct for consistent learning outcomes in all its degree and certificate curricula: an integrated package of skills that are demonstrated through a work-related project achieving tangible results in an accelerated period. Emphasis is on practical learning that endures, is “portable” throughout the organization--- and can be applied at work every day.
NGS measures the success of its programs by the tangible results (ROI) and performance measures established that match the sponsor’s priorities and by the improvements in participant skills.
NGS Faculty- Practitioners Accustomed to Working with Adults
Faculty are experienced practitioners accustomed to working with adult working professionals. Faculty have practical project completion experience for organizations such as GE, Dell, Ritz Carlton, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the Aerospace Industry.
NGS GreenBelt: A Decade+ of Results
Since 1995, NGS has provided six sigma and lean training to market leading organizations in the private sector and military such as AOL, USAF, Boeing and United Technologies. NGS tailors its programs through course material, case studies and examples for both manufacturing and service (transactional) sponsors. From experience, NGS knows that training does not happen only in the classroom. NGS faculty and mentoring practitioners work with participants before the program starts, between training sessions and in the interim before the project is due.
NGS GreenBelt Certification
The NGS certification means that NGS, as an accredited institution, stands behind the ability of its graduates to manage projects of designated scope, utilize NGS methodology for problem analysis, and become agents of change for future improvement—from within!
