Course Overview

The cost of poor quality in meaningful indicator selection is rarely visible in any single budget line. Variation in this area of quality and productivity management is the enemy; averages conceal it. The course sets out a working method for the quality and productivity management capability that participants can apply the week they return. Participants test their assumptions about meaningful indicator selection against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this area of quality and productivity management among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the quality and productivity management capability has actually achieved. Ambition around meaningful indicator selection outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme suits teams tackling the wider quality and productivity management agenda together as readily as individuals attending alone. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within quality and productivity management that participants can repeat annually.

03

Meaningful indicator selection: waste, flow and productivity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Control plans for meaningful indicator selection that catch problems early

  • Measure current variation in meaningful indicator selection before attempting improvement.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in meaningful indicator selection.
  • Check that records of meaningful indicator selection answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Record what was tried on meaningful indicator selection and did not work, and why.

Session 2Sampling meaningful indicator selection on evidence rather than convention

  • Build a control plan for meaningful indicator selection identifying what is checked, when and by whom.
  • Link the improvement in meaningful indicator selection to a financial figure leadership recognises.
  • Verify six months later that changes to meaningful indicator selection have held.

04

Meaningful indicator selection: benchmarking and continual improvement

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Auditing meaningful indicator selection to improve it, not to pass

  • Set out how exceptions to meaningful indicator selection are requested and approved.
  • Map the process behind meaningful indicator selection by walking it, not by describing it.
  • Benchmark meaningful indicator selection against a comparable operation and record the gap.
  • Define quality for meaningful indicator selection in terms the customer would recognise.

Session 2Finding the variation that matters in meaningful indicator selection

  • Calculate the cost of poor quality attributable to meaningful indicator selection.
  • Record what was learned when meaningful indicator selection did not go as planned.
  • Compare the cost of meaningful indicator selection with the cost of its absence.
  • Verify that improvements to meaningful indicator selection held six months later.
