Course Overview

Most defects in satisfaction and internal quality linkage are designed in long before they are detected. The cost of poor quality in quality linkage is rarely visible in any single budget line. Most organisations already have a policy on this area of quality and productivity management; far fewer can show it working. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting satisfaction and internal quality linkage, ready to be adapted internally. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this part of quality and productivity management and prepares them for it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in quality linkage that were visible long before the incident. It suits anyone whose decisions touch satisfaction and internal quality linkage, in large organisations and small ones alike. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in quality linkage, not around theory headings. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of quality and productivity management into commitments with owners and dates.
