Most defects in quality improvement financial return are designed in long before they are detected. Inspection catches problems in financial return; it does not prevent them. A common pattern is strong design of the quality and productivity management capability paired with weak follow-through. The course sets out a working method for quality improvement financial return that participants can apply the week they return. Every module pairs a short input on the quality and productivity management discipline with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme suits teams tackling financial return together as readily as individuals attending alone. Participants finish able to explain quality improvement financial return to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in financial return that were visible long before the incident. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the quality and productivity management capability that participants can repeat annually.
