SUMMARY:POSTPONED: End-to-End Quality: Better Ways to Create More Value (1-Day Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this workshop has been postponed. Stay tuned for new December date**\nDoes Your Company Have a System for Seeing and Solving Quality Issues?\n\n Whether using A3s\, the 5 Whys\, DMAIC\, Value Stream Mapping\, or any other problem-solving tool\, having a System for seeing and solving quality issues can ensure the real problem is solved and protect precious resources from being deployed erroneously to solve a non-existent issue. \n\n Learn a System to Solve Unforeseen Quality Issues\, BEFORE They Happen\n\n Whether it starts on a company’s website\, in a tradeshow booth\, or even during an unconscious first glimpse of a logo\, customers’ perceptions of value begin well before the product or service is ever delivered – and then either build\, or diminish\, during every interaction thereafter. This is critical because 75% of customer defections are the result of poor-quality experiences somewhere between “needs recognition” and “post-delivery support.” Coupled with the fact that a 5% decrease in business typically results in -25% Operating Income\, organizations have more than enough incentive to improve their end-to-end quality. \n\n Lead by Brent Wahba\, Strategy\, Innovation & Transformation executive at Strategy Science\, Inc.\, Brent is a well-known expert in product development\, manufacturing operations\, supply chain management\, and quality control. He brings global managerial and technical expertise across several industries.\n Workshop Prices & Deadlines \n\n\n Early Bird: $1\,295 per person – closes on 9/6/2019 at 11:59 AM\nCEG/CEN Members:  $1\,295 per person – closes on 10/4/2019 at 11:59 AM\nRegular / Non-Member Pricing: $1\,495 per person – opens 9/7/2019 at 12:00 AM\, closes on 10/4/2019 11:59 PM\n\n  \n REGISTER \n  \nWe have known these facts and the related challenges for decades\, but unfortunately\, the methodologies for addressing them (Total Quality Management\, 6 Sigma\, Lean…) are often cumbersome\, require years of focus\, and even under the best circumstances\, do not frequently create quick or sustainable results. \nWhile there may be many company-specific reasons for this\, some of the most common root causes are: \n\n\n De-coupled and misaligned business processes\nCursory understanding of all stakeholder expectations\nLack of coordination between strategy and improvement activities\nBlanket\, organization-wide tool deployment\nToo much non-value-added complexity\n\n  \nThis workshop is designed to help participants of any organizational level or function address these shortcomings and significantly improve their own quality system performance by learning to: \n\nSee quality & value as outputs of an end-to-end delivery system\nMore deeply understand all stakeholder needs\nPrioritize improvement activities based on both strategy and bottlenecks\nPrevent problems instead of firefighting\n“Pull” simplified measurement systems and tools only when necessary\n\n
