Designing Strategies for Participating in Sector Excellence Competitions
A structured, applied course in excellence competition participation — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Variation in excellence competition participation is the enemy; averages conceal it. A quality system for this strand of quality and productivity management that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the quality and productivity management discipline to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants leave with a method for excellence competition participation, not a set of opinions about it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of quality and productivity management, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants apply the quality and productivity management discipline to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better excellence competition participation is rarely technical. Progress on this part of quality and productivity management is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider quality and productivity management agenda that participants can repeat annually.
