Class Description
Date: 05 – 06 February 2025
Duration: 2 Days
Location: Zürich, Switzerland
In this two-day Quality on Time course you will learn very pragmatic techniques that you can start using immediately. These techniques have enabled very competent engineers to deliver better results in much less time.
You will learn how to successfully handle ever tighter schedules with seemingly ‘impossible’ deadlines – without compromising the quality of the result.
We will show you how to overcome issues like:
- Stress caused by tight schedules and ‘impossible’ deadlines.
- Too many distractions and interruptions.
- Late deliveries, perhaps even diluted quality of work.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The Quality on Time Approach will enable you to:
- Improve your effectiveness and efficiency.
- Predict what can and will be accomplished when, and live up to it.
- Systematically make your customers happy.
We will study cases and exercise techniques for how to consistently:
- Properly develop the problem before selecting a solution.
- Predict what can and will be accomplished when, and taking the consequence.
- Overcome common human behaviors and habits which are a risk for success.
- Maintain focus.
- Balance priorities.
- Navigate differences in disciplines and cultures.
- Adopt a Zero-Defect attitude.
You will exercise these techniques yourself to better plan your own work for the coming weeks. Be prepared!
Do you think you and your projects are already very effective and efficient? That’s what other people thought too – before they found out otherwise!
If you are an engineer or engineering manager, working in high-stakes complex projects that demand a tight turn-around on time and quality, then this course will be invaluable to you.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
It is recommended participants have professional experience in a role in which requires the delivery of time-bound results.
