Course Overview
Variation in improvement and appraisal linkage is the enemy; averages conceal it. Inspection catches problems in appraisal linkage; it does not prevent them. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of quality and productivity management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It is designed for mixed groups, so that improvement and appraisal linkage is examined from more than one functional angle. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the quality and productivity management capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants gain a realistic view of what appraisal linkage costs and what it returns. Participants leave with a method for improvement and appraisal linkage, not a set of opinions about it. A common pattern is strong design of appraisal linkage paired with weak follow-through. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of quality and productivity management into commitments with owners and dates.
