Quality on Time
Class Description
Date: 05 – 06 February 2025
Duration: 2 Days
Location: Zürich, Switzerland
In this course, participants will gain invaluable skills and techniques to enable the optimisation and improvement of effectiveness and efficiency in individual and team practices – resulting in the delivery of successful projects. These skills are applicable to technical tasks as well as personnel and stakeholder management.
Strategies for implementing structures that allow the prediction of time-bound outcomes and the integration of discipline in working practices will be discussed.
In addition, the human behaviours that support quality on time, for instance, exploiting intuition mechanisms, maximising focus, and leveraging cultural and inter-disciplinary diversity within an organisation will be explored.
Several case studies where the ‘Quality on Time’ approach has transformed the predicted delivery times and reduced negative impacts on cost, quality, relationships, and reputation will be demonstrated throughout.
