Prepare the evidence required for external certification of process consolidation.
Designing Strategies to Merge Multiple Processes into a Single Simplified Path
A senior-level treatment of process consolidation, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
A quality system for process consolidation that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. The cost of poor quality in the practice within quality and productivity management is rarely visible in any single budget line. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this aspect of quality and productivity management is examined from more than one functional angle. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what process consolidation has actually achieved. Participants test their assumptions about the wider quality and productivity management agenda against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within quality and productivity management it covers ends in something applicable. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting process consolidation and under-invest in testing it. Mature organisations treat the wider quality and productivity management agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of quality and productivity management that each participant writes for their own organisation.
