Most defects in quality manuals and strategic alignment are designed in long before they are detected. Inspection catches problems in strategic alignment; it does not prevent them. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of quality and productivity management improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Moving quality manuals and strategic alignment from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of quality and productivity management in their own setting. They leave able to brief senior management on strategic alignment in terms that support a decision. This programme builds quality manuals and strategic alignment from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with strategic alignment. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of quality and productivity management survives a hostile question.
