Six Sigma Black Belts are individuals who apply intensive and diversified process improvement techniques to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. The term "Black Belt" has roots from the martial arts. Consider the characteristics of a martial arts Black Belt - someone who is dedicated, extremely focused, well-trained, and an expert in his/her field. These characteristics are similar for Six Sigma Black Belts because these individuals are trained in the strategies, tactics, and application tools of Six Sigma.

Back on the job, they may guide and assist cross functional teams in pursuit of process improvement goals. In addition, they may provide training, facilitation, analysis and advice on a variety of manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes. Often called change agents, or process improvement drivers, the Black Belts incorporate Six Sigma into all aspects of their current functional role.

Black Belt characteristics include:

• Process and product knowledge
• Statistical methods knowledge
• Implementation and application experience
• Excellent communication and project management skills
• Leadership and "soft-skills"
• Motivation, drive, and the will to learn
