A Six Sigma Project Champion could be compared to a top of the line concierge at an elite five star hotel. That concierge has the answers, and can make your life easier if you happen to be visiting a completely unfamiliar location. They will know the best restaurants, best places to visit, or if you don’t know the language, they might even set you up with an interpreter.
The Six Sigma Project Champion is, for all intents and purposes, the one person within the entire organization that will carry the burden to make sure that the entire project comes to fruition within the timeframe specified, with the outlined goals met.
The one main element that is important for the Six Sigma Project Champion to have is diplomacy, or better said, the ability to negotiate with all involved in the project, which includes management as well as team members.
