Course Overview

Most defects in advanced improvement projects are designed in long before they are detected. A quality system for the quality and productivity management capability that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Every module pairs a short input on the practice within quality and productivity management with structured practice on the participant's own material. Where advanced improvement projects is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Progress on the quality and productivity management discipline is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the practice within quality and productivity management is examined from more than one functional angle. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on advanced improvement projects and revise it on evidence. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider quality and productivity management agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of quality and productivity management survives a hostile question.
