SSD Global Solutions (Simple Smart Decision Making) “SSD” is a Texas-based company with a strong presence in Colorado.  At our core, we are transformational educators specializing in Lean Six Sigma, Agile, Project Management, Design Thinking, and Leadership development. We proudly created the revolutionary Leaner Six Sigma® methodology—a streamlined approach that makes Lean Six Sigma leaner, faster, and significantly easier to understand without sacrificing depth or effectiveness.  SSD successfully migrated to online teaching and consulting during the Covid-19 pandemic, a model we still use in 2026.  Using video conferencing platforms such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, SSD programs remain interactive.  Instructors and students collaborate in real time. Our conversational teaching method uses presentation visuals to guide the discussion as opposed as using PowerPoint to teach.

Our Innovation: Leaner Six Sigma®

Traditional Lean Six Sigma training can be overwhelming and time-consuming. That’s why we developed Leaner Six Sigma®—a methodology that distills complex concepts into accessible, practical learning experiences. Our approach eliminates unnecessary complexity while maintaining the rigor and results that organizations demand. Whether you’re pursuing Yellow Belt, Green Belt, or Black Belt certification, our Leaner approach gets you certified faster and equipped with immediately applicable skills.  We have an interactive conversational approach that makes the process both fun and enjoyable.  A powerful movement began in 2001 when companies started combining Lean and Six Sigma approaches.  Now, 25 years later, Leaner Six Sigma® is the next generation of that groundbreaking thinking.

Accredited Excellence You Can Trust

SSD programs are accredited by the Colorado Department of Higher Education and are generally accepted as continuing education credit for certifications awarded through PMI, HRCI, ASQ and other certifications requiring CEUs. We are recognized for our commitment to quality education and industry-standard certification. Our courses meet the highest professional standards, ensuring your certification is valued and respected by employers worldwide.
