Green Belt? Check—Now What?
Does your organization suffer from “one and done” syndrome? People often receive Green Belt certificates and then … nothing. If that’s a familiar hurdle, the Navy might have something to teach you. Process Improvement Specialists, Jason Scott and Cecil Bell, Jr., say the number one question they get after completing a Green Belt class is, “How do I join a team?” Without ongoing projects, that’s hard to answer.
​
At the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) at the San Diego Naval Base, they are building a yellow brick road to improvement. That means there’s always projects starting, in process, and nearing completion. They’ve ensured that all Green Belt graduates have the option to select and become part of a project. Join this 1-hour webinar to learn how Cecil and Jason paved the way so Green Belts could continue their journeys towards operational excellence.

Meet
Tracy O'Rourke
Two things about my work intrigue me. I love helping clients solve their culture puzzle. What’s working well? What’s not? What norms hold the current culture in place? How can we understand the root causes behind why the culture is the way it is? Then we work to build an intentional culture.
​
At the individual level, I love the “Aha” moment when people realize that this stuff works. I love it when they’re hungry to apply the concepts even more. These are my true rewards.

I’m a translator. I love taking complicated topics and deciphering them, so they make sense to myself and everyone around me. I love collaborating with clients and colleagues to build a problem-solving culture together. I get a huge sense of satisfaction working with others to overcome seemingly intractable organizational barriers.
I get a kick out of sharing what I’ve learned so the people I work with don’t have to struggle quite so much for so long or at least not as much as I did. I love the moment when a student no longer needs me.
