Present the case for investment in digital quality records in terms that a finance function will accept.
Building Intelligent Digital Documentation Systems for Quality Records
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to digital quality records.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in digital quality records; it does not prevent them. Most defects in the quality and productivity management capability are designed in long before they are detected. Every module pairs a short input on this part of quality and productivity management with structured practice on the participant's own material. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on digital quality records and revise it on evidence. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating process but no prior formal training in this aspect of quality and productivity management. Comparative studies of the quality and productivity management capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The difficulty is not agreeing that digital quality records matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme converts the wider quality and productivity management agenda from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of quality and productivity management that participants can repeat annually.
