Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in professional service quality is rarely visible in any single budget line. Improvement in the quality and productivity management capability that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the practice within quality and productivity management, not around theory headings. The most reliable predictor of sound professional service quality is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of quality and productivity management. The difficulty is not agreeing that this area of quality and productivity management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that professional service quality is examined from more than one functional angle. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the practice within quality and productivity management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants leave with a plan for this part of quality and productivity management sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
