Course Overview
Variation in local adoption of best practice is the enemy; averages conceal it. Inspection catches problems in best practice; it does not prevent them. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the wider quality and productivity management agenda, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It treats local adoption of best practice as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this part of quality and productivity management and under-invest in testing it. The content is relevant to those who own best practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Across sectors, teams that rehearse local adoption of best practice outperform teams that only plan it. They leave able to brief senior management on best practice in terms that support a decision. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider quality and productivity management agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
