How is Six Sigma different from Lean Six Sigma?
Lean and Six Sigma are two very important methodologies which should be studied independently to truly appreciate their power to transform organizations.

Lean Six Sigma will often treat Lean as a collection of tools, you can sometime use when you work on a Six Sigma project. Lean Transformations are much more than a collection of tools and you will not learn much about Lean in a Lean Six Sigma class.
