Managing Master Black Belt Projects in Lean Business Transformation (LBT)
Up to Black Belt certification level, the structure of the certification followed the sequence of core Lean Business Transformation (LBT) projects comprising a work portfolio of implementing LBT projects. Certification for the Master Black Belt portfolio is quite different in that its purpose is to demonstrate learning, and the applications of LBT in action. In many ways, certification for Master Black Belt (MBB) is a detailed log of your journey to MBB highlighting your learning in implementing LBT.
The structure you adopt will depend on the journey you have taken. If you have not had opportunities to develop real solid implementation you should focus more on your theoretical learnings. However, MBB is really about applying the principles to novel situations and may well cover ‘the journey to MBB’ as a chronological time –line of key interventions, implementation and learning.

If this is the case, you may want to showcase your accomplishments very much as you would your CV to a prospective employer. You will also find it is an easier way of documenting your personal development and learning.

Please note, there is no maximum length for your MBB portfolio, but you will have to demonstrate rigour in your analysis, and report on several in-depth projects. You may also include the following:
