Course Overview
Variation in quality as competitive advantage is the enemy; averages conceal it. Improvement in competitive advantage that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Participants apply this strand of quality and productivity management to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. It establishes a shared vocabulary for quality as competitive advantage so that teams can disagree productively about it. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of quality and productivity management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch competitive advantage, in large organisations and small ones alike. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to quality as competitive advantage in an order their organisation can absorb. Practitioner evidence points the same way: competitive advantage improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the quality and productivity management capability that would make a visible difference.
