Designing Programmes to Build Mutual Trust Between Quality and Operations Teams
A working programme in quality and operations trust for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in quality and operations trust; it does not prevent them. Most defects in operations trust are designed in long before they are detected. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of quality and productivity management and the judgement to adapt it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of quality and operations trust to standardise and which to leave flexible. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this aspect of quality and productivity management rather than to abstract argument. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in operations trust that were visible long before the incident. Moving quality and operations trust from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme works equally well for those formalising operations trust for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of quality and productivity management broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
