Course Overview
Most defects in improvement project selection are designed in long before they are detected. Improvement in this aspect of quality and productivity management that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. The content is relevant to those who own the quality and productivity management capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. A common pattern is strong design of improvement project selection paired with weak follow-through. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the quality and productivity management discipline so that teams can disagree productively about it. They leave able to brief senior management on the quality and productivity management capability in terms that support a decision. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in improvement project selection that were visible long before the incident. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a control plan for this part of quality and productivity management as they go. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider quality and productivity management agenda survives a hostile question.
