Distinguish the parts of shared quality culture that must be standardised from those that require judgement.
Building a Shared Quality Culture Across All Organisational Levels
Build a working method for shared quality culture that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
A quality system for shared quality culture that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Improvement in the quality and productivity management capability that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. The version of this part of quality and productivity management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The professional literature on shared quality culture converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the wider quality and productivity management agenda, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this part of quality and productivity management. Participants finish able to explain shared quality culture to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the wider quality and productivity management agenda it covers ends in something applicable. The final module sets out how progress on the quality and productivity management capability will be evidenced six months later.
