I also have a formal certification, a black belt style Lean certification that a previous employer did. But, I'm not a fan of the way companies use certifications to sometimes screen out qualified (or better candidates) who do NOT have a formal certification. I'm also not a fan of the variation in what counts as "certified." Thanks for inviting your readers to the discussion. You and I are both lucky to have great readers who add a ton to the conversation (Actually, they make it a conversation, not a monologue). Ron – you don’t misrepresent my position at all.
