Course Overview
A quality system for certificate renewal that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Most defects in this area of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of quality and productivity management, not for observers of it. Organisations that document certificate renewal properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a control plan for the quality and productivity management discipline as they go. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this strand of quality and productivity management is working and when it is only appearing to. It establishes a shared vocabulary for certificate renewal so that teams can disagree productively about it. Ambition around the wider quality and productivity management agenda outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The final module sets out how progress on the quality and productivity management capability will be evidenced six months later.
