Delivering Exceptional Performance when Everyone’s Busy

Overview

However it’s measured, delivering exceptional performance isn’t straightforward, especially when everyone’s busy. Changing mindsets and behaviours can be challenging - that’s why so many attempts to improve performance give patchy results.

Traditional problem-solving assumes that we’re logical – that a solid business case and addressing the cause-effect will secure a solution. But when you add people to the mix, it’s rarely that straightforward. So this course explores how to improve your performance metrics, through both people and process.

Our signature 7-Step method is designed to embed real-world problem-solving, combining best practice process improvement with the latest in behavioural science. Equipping you to get hands-on with operational teams, to improve metrics including productivity, quality, compliance, cost and customer experience.

(Each module runs from 09.30 until 13.00. When you book this course you are booking all 4 modules).
