Design a training and briefing approach that sustains competence in quality improvement teams.
Building and Leading Multi-Disciplinary Quality Improvement Teams
A practical programme in quality improvement teams for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Improvement in quality improvement teams that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Most defects in the quality and productivity management discipline are designed in long before they are detected. It is written for people who have to make this part of quality and productivity management work with the resources they already have. A common pattern is strong design of quality improvement teams paired with weak follow-through. The most reliable predictor of sound this area of quality and productivity management is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the quality and productivity management discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from quality improvement teams, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the quality and productivity management capability and the judgement to adapt it. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of quality and productivity management rather than a set of notes.
