MoreSteam.com was founded 10 years ago by CEO, Bill Hathaway, in response to the dearth of cost-effective lean Six Sigma training options. By combining adult learning theory and well-designed technology, MoreSteam was the first to offer a complete online Black Belt curriculum, leading what has now become a major transformation in the delivery of lean Six Sigma training. MoreSteam was selected by the American Society of Quality (ASQ) to deliver its online lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Green Belt, and Yellow Belt courses. MoreSteam continues to be the only lean Six Sigma online training provider to be reviewed and approved by ASQ.

Learning technology, driven by customer needs

MoreSteam continues to learn from and respond to the needs of their hundreds of corporate customers. Since 2001, industry demands have shaped product development and driven MoreSteam to push the leading edge of lean Six Sigma training and technology. As part of an integrated solution, MoreSteam has released a Microsoft Excel-based data analysis tool, online tools for testing, project tracking and management, and multiplayer simulation games for the classroom. After 10 years, MoreSteam has developed the most comprehensive, commercially available body of lean Six Sigma content for use at every level, from novice to seasoned practitioner. More than 250,000 individuals have registered for one or more of MoreSteam’s online courses.

MoreSteam.com is not a consultancy but a partner to lean Six Sigma deployments needing to execute a first-rate program without sacrificing time and money. MoreSteam supports blended learning training models by helping to deliver, integrate, and customize premium-quality online training components that companies do not wish to build and support themselves. In late 2009, MoreSteam translated its experience into a collection of best practices called the Blended Learning Playbook. This handbook describes the design and implementation of a lean Six Sigma training deployment and how to blend online content delivery, classroom practice, and coaching to yield the most effective training design possible.

What does MoreSteam mean?

The term “more steam” is an old expression referring to the practice of engineers adding fuel to their steam engines to achieve more power, greater speed, and to successfully reach their destination on schedule. In the same vein, MoreSteam.com has worked ceaselessly to deliver an ever-expanding catalog of e-learning courses and online software tools to fuel the success of its many lean Six Sigma customers.

“Since our start, MoreSteam’s mission has been to deliver affordable training and software tools that help to advance the performance of professionals and organizations,” explains CEO Bill Hathaway. “Process improvement activities produce significant financial, social and environmental benefits, and by engaging technology, we seek to spread and support best process improvement practices throughout the world.”
