Hey, welcome back to the Process Improvement Podcast. I'm glad you're here today because we're going to talk about something that I think is genuinely holding a lot of people back - and it's not a skills gap, it's not a lack of opportunity, and it's not the job market. It's misinformation. Specifically, it's a set of outdated assumptions about Six Sigma certification that have been floating around for years, and no matter how much the industry evolves, these myths just refuse to die.

So today we're going to take them on one by one. Five of the most common misconceptions I hear from professionals who are either considering Six Sigma certification or who have already talked themselves out of it. And by the end of this episode, I want you to have a much clearer picture of what Six Sigma actually looks like in 2026 - not what it looked like twenty years ago, which is unfortunately where a lot of these assumptions are coming from.
