In this episode, I share the kickoff to last week's webinar called ”Green Belt Refresher using Copilot – Part 1” where I discuss the reason for the webinar, and what the current challenges are with teaching Six Sigma with different statistical software packages.

To listen to the entire webinar, where I show how Copilot compares with Minitab for graphical analysis, summary statistics, SPC and capability analysis, go to https://www.leansixsigmaecosystem.com/c/webinars/green-belt-refresher-using-copilot-part-1
