QUA4195 - Strategic Quality Metrics and Performance Measurement Training Course

<h2>Course Introduction / Overview:</h2>

<p>In a data-driven world, what gets measured gets managed, and that is especially true for quality. This training course is designed to provide professionals, managers, and analysts with the framework and practical skills to design, collect, and analyze quality metrics that drive strategic decision-making and continuous improvement. It goes beyond a simple focus on raw numbers to explore how quality measurement can be used to understand process performance, identify areas for improvement, and communicate value to stakeholders. We will explore how to select the right quality metrics for a given process, create a dashboard to visualize data, and use data analysis to tell a story about quality performance. The curriculum is informed by the foundational work of global academics like Dr. Douglas Hubbard, whose book "How to Measure Anything" provides a valuable lens for quantifying and managing what is often considered immeasurable. His work challenges the notion that quality is an abstract concept and provides a practical framework for measurement. This program provides a clear blueprint for turning data into actionable insights that drive business success.
