PTSG has announced the launch of the company’s first Lean Six Sigma Green Belt programme, with an initial cohort of 11 colleagues selected to take part in this important development initiative.
This programme has been designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders across PTSG, equipping participants with the skills, tools and behaviours needed to deliver meaningful, measurable improvements within their departments and across the wider Group.
As part of the programme, participants will be trained in Lean Six Sigma methodologies – a globally recognised approach to problem-solving and performance improvement. This will enable them to identify root causes, reduce inefficiencies and drive initiatives that have a direct impact on operational performance and profitability.
Each participant will complete:
• A four-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training course
• Ongoing mentoring from a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
• A process improvement project delivering a minimum £50,000 benefit within four months
They will also be supported by a dedicated Project Champion, Greg Watts, who will provide guidance, challenge and oversight throughout the programme.
Greg Ward, CEO, said: “As we continue to grow, the consistency and quality of our execution becomes increasingly important. Programmes like this are critical in building the capability we need across the business. This is about empowering our people to solve problems, improve performance and ultimately help us operate more effectively at scale.”
Kate Williamson, Group HR Director, added: “Investing in our people is fundamental to our success. This programme is about more than technical training, it’s about developing future leaders who can think differently, challenge constructively and drive continuous improvement across PTSG.”
Lean Six Sigma combines two powerful methodologies:
• Lean, which focuses on eliminating waste and improving efficiency
• Six Sigma, which reduces variation and ensures consistent quality
Together, they provide a structured, data-driven approach to delivering better outcomes for our customers and our business.
This initiative marks an important step in strengthening PTSG’s operational capability and embedding a culture of continuous improvement across PTSG.
