About me
Hi, I’m Michel Doppert. If we haven’t spoken already, please allow me to briefly introduce myself here.
I am a GE-Certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with a passion for helping others on their path of continuous improvement.
That is why for the last twenty years, I have mentored, trained and coached professionals on the subjects of Lean Six Sigma and continuous improvement, both at a corporate level and at an individual level.

“Michel is an excellent coach who made the Lean Six Sigma training a really enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend!“
History and background
My family roots lie in Indonesia, although I was born in Turkey and have lived in a variety of countries during my youth. This was due to the fact that my father worked for an American company and had to move around a lot for his job. Eventually my family settled in the Netherlands, where I studied International Law as a young man.
After completing my law degree I joined an International Airline, where I was first introduced to Quality Management and became certified as a Quality Analyst by the Quality Service for the Industry. Eventually I was recruited by the General Electric Company as one of the first waves of Black Belts to use Six Sigma in Europe. I was enamored with the data-driven approach of Six Sigma and due to my previous experience in Quality Management, I also appreciated the change management side of it.
As a next step I chose to become a GE-certified Master Black Belt and Quality leader, before finally moving on to the business side, where I assumed P&L responsibility in a variety of leadership positions. In those years my passion for Continuous improvement never subsided.
In 2012, I returned to Lean and Six Sigma and started providing training and mentoring again. Although many things had changed, my drive towards helping people improve their business remained unchanged. Ever since, I feel I have found my destiny in helping and mentoring others to continuously improve using the structure and mindset called Lean Six Sigma.
Current activities
I teach Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt courses at the University of Bedfordshire as lead instructor and director of The Lean Six Sigma Company UK.
These days I am also often busy mentoring and coaching ambitious continuous improvement professionals and assisting them with the design and implementation of their Lean Six Sigma projects.
The last few years I have also helped develop a number of self-paced online Lean Six Sigma courses together with The Productivity Company, an e-learning company that focuses on all-round professional self-development.
Personal life
When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family and at the gym. Continuous improvement is something I try to practice in every aspect of my life, whether it is getting better at my work, improving my fitness or learning new skills in general.
