Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in customer-perspective service quality is rarely visible in any single budget line. Most defects in the quality and productivity management capability are designed in long before they are detected. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this area of quality and productivity management. They acquire practical criteria for judging when customer-perspective service quality is working and when it is only appearing to. Every module pairs a short input on the wider quality and productivity management agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the quality and productivity management capability it covers ends in something applicable. The most reliable predictor of sound customer-perspective service quality is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Plans for this area of quality and productivity management often fail at the handover point between functions. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of quality and productivity management that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
