Build a better way to work — Earn a Certificate in Design for Six Sigma
Excellence in product design requires an organized and purposeful approach driven by empathy for customer needs and informed by data. MoreSteam's Product Design Excellence Black Belt course incorporates several design disciplines' best methods and practices, including Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Design for Lean Six Sigma, and Agile Software Development. The MoreSteam approach to product design combines advanced statistics, including designing and analyzing of experiments (DOE).
Our Product Design Excellence Black Belt course is perfect for engineers, programmers, or product designers that want to learn how to develop and design new products within their organization. In this course, you will learn how to apply the Define > Concept > Design > Optimize > Validate (DCDOV) roadmap of critical questions to guide your design activities and master all of the tools necessary to answer those critical questions.

Not Your Traditional Design for Six Sigma Course
The Design Black Belt course offers a broader scope than Design for Six Sigma. It heavily emphasizes experimentation and iterative design through physical and virtual prototyping. This design curriculum leans heavily on Process Playground, a virtual simulation tool that supports learners in “building to to think” with dynamic process models. Learners can experiment with and stress-test virtual twins of their processes in a low-cost, low-stakes environment that is, nonetheless, high-fidelity. Most importantly, this design course prioritizes thoughtfully designing processes and products that anticipate, meet, and exceed customer needs - a goal that extends well beyond achieving a specific Sigma Level.
