Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in quality standard adoption is rarely visible in any single budget line. Inspection catches problems in the quality and productivity management discipline; it does not prevent them. Comparative studies of this part of quality and productivity management across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course gives participants a defensible structure for quality standard adoption and the judgement to adapt it. Participants finish able to explain the wider quality and productivity management agenda to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Participants who influence this aspect of quality and productivity management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. What blocks progress on quality standard adoption is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants test their assumptions about this area of quality and productivity management against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of quality and productivity management sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
