Course Overview

Most defects in academic accreditation readiness are designed in long before they are detected. Improvement in the quality and productivity management capability that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. It is written for people who have to make this strand of quality and productivity management work with the resources they already have. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from academic accreditation readiness, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Mature organisations treat the quality and productivity management discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Plans for this aspect of quality and productivity management often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of academic accreditation readiness to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme takes participants through the practice within quality and productivity management end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of quality and productivity management that each participant writes for their own organisation.
