Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in rapid improvement workshops; it does not prevent them. Variation in the practice within quality and productivity management is the enemy; averages conceal it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this aspect of quality and productivity management outperform teams that only plan it. Progress on rapid improvement workshops is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the wider quality and productivity management agenda to standardise and which to leave flexible. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating process but no prior formal training in the quality and productivity management discipline. The programme takes participants through rapid improvement workshops end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this area of quality and productivity management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within quality and productivity management broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
