Crimson Sigma Process Excellence

Process Excellence
A more efficient method, a more effective UA

The University of Alabama is not only a higher education institution—it’s also a business. And it’s crucial that the University follow the same model as the greater business community, improving our processes to strengthen our position in the marketplace. Crimson Sigma, UA’s branded version of the well-known Six Sigma doctrine, helps participants to perform at their peak and better meet the needs of our stakeholders.

As the first major university to offer this innovative program, we provide a level of professional advancement that helps UA employees gain a competitive edge. Every department, no matter what its focus or approach, can benefit from this path to quality improvement.

Like Six Sigma, Crimson Sigma teaches team members the best way to analyze and quantify each step of a given process in order to eliminate errors and inefficiencies. Participants in our Green Belt and Black Belt certification programs also acquire valuable skills in project management, teambuilding, navigating transitions, and other aspects of University leadership.
