Course Overview
The cost of poor quality in optimal sample size is rarely visible in any single budget line. Most defects in this aspect of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. Mature organisations treat the quality and productivity management discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants test their assumptions about optimal sample size against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within quality and productivity management so that teams can disagree productively about it. A common pattern is strong design of the wider quality and productivity management agenda paired with weak follow-through. They leave able to brief senior management on optimal sample size in terms that support a decision. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this aspect of quality and productivity management. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider quality and productivity management agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
