Set a realistic target state for digital service quality and a defensible route to it.
Designing Strategies to Manage the Quality of Remote and Digital Services
A senior-level treatment of digital service quality, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in digital service quality; it does not prevent them. Improvement in the quality and productivity management discipline that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Every module pairs a short input on the practice within quality and productivity management with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme works equally well for those formalising digital service quality for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of quality and productivity management, not around theory headings. Where the quality and productivity management discipline is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on digital service quality and revise it on evidence. Ambition around this strand of quality and productivity management outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of quality and productivity management that participants can repeat annually.
