Course Overview

A quality system for office service improvement that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. The cost of poor quality in the quality and productivity management discipline is rarely visible in any single budget line. Participants apply the wider quality and productivity management agenda to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants leave with a method for office service improvement, not a set of opinions about it. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this aspect of quality and productivity management before they become incidents. The professional literature on the practice within quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting office service improvement and under-invest in testing it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of quality and productivity management. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of quality and productivity management survives a hostile question.
