Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in balanced performance measurement is rarely visible in any single budget line. Most defects in this area of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the wider quality and productivity management agenda under scrutiny. Comparative studies of balanced performance measurement across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this strand of quality and productivity management rather than to abstract argument. The course sets out a working method for this part of quality and productivity management that participants can apply the week they return. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for balanced performance measurement. The difficulty is not agreeing that this aspect of quality and productivity management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of quality and productivity management survives a hostile question.
