Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in sector benchmarking indicators is rarely visible in any single budget line. Variation in this area of quality and productivity management is the enemy; averages conceal it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a control plan for the quality and productivity management discipline as they go. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on sector benchmarking indicators and revise it on evidence. Comparative studies of this aspect of quality and productivity management across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of quality and productivity management and under-invest in testing it. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating process but no prior formal training in sector benchmarking indicators. The course sets out a working method for the quality and productivity management discipline that participants can apply the week they return. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of quality and productivity management broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
