“Steve’s delivery of the course has been excellent – constant communication and help where needed. Steve also provided me with additional resource to aid me with completion of my Green Belt Six Sigma Project – of which I could not be more grateful for!” – Green Belt Delegate, Eriez Magnetics
“I recently completed both the Green Belt and Black Belt courses with Steve at Create Differences, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The waste reduction project was particularly exciting, pushing me out of my comfort zone and into an operations-focused mindset, where I learnt so much. Steve’s in-depth teaching of the DMAIC framework was invaluable, and I’ve since applied it to everything from small, structured meetings to larger projects that influence company-wide decisions.
Steve is truly a master of his trade, with an enormous amount of patience and an impressive ability to guide a team through the various stages of development, from norming and storming to performing. The Black Belt leadership training was a highlight, especially the insights around leading teams through these phases.
We are now fostering a new culture in the organisation, embracing Six Sigma and Lean principles, and introducing a fresh language and a new way of thinking. I look forward to applying everything I’ve learnt to future projects. Thank you, Steve, for your dedication and expertise.” - Melody Gardiner, Commercial Manager, Siderise Insulation Limited
