Designing Strategies to Improve Productivity Without Increasing Resources

Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in productivity without added resources is rarely visible in any single budget line. Improvement in added resources that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a control plan for the quality and productivity management discipline as they go. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to productivity without added resources in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme works equally well for those formalising the wider quality and productivity management agenda for the first time and those improving an existing approach. This programme builds added resources from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Applied research in quality and productivity management consistently shows that early structure around productivity without added resources reduces downstream rework. Plans for added resources often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of quality and productivity management rather than a set of notes.
