Kevin Clay on The Belt System: What It Means & What It Doesn't

Kevin Clay on The Belt System: What It Means & What It Doesn't

Is your belt more than just a piece of paper?

In this episode, Keith Norris sits down with Kevin Clay—Master Black Belt and founder of Six Sigma Development Solutions—to break down the real meaning behind Lean Six Sigma belt certifications.

From white to black belt, Kevin shares why the value of a belt isn’t in the color or the test—but in the capability it represents. Whether you're an aspiring Green Belt, a hiring manager, or a CI leader designing your internal program, this conversation reveals what it really takes to build problem solvers—not just test takers.

🎙️ In this episode:

🔻 The difference between a belt and actual capability

🔻 Why “testing out” isn’t enough—and what to do instead

🔻 What white, yellow, green, and black belts really mean

🔻 How to build training that creates real change agents

🔻 What to look for when hiring certified practitioners

👀 Thinking about certification—or hiring someone who is? Don’t miss this one.
