Project Scope/Mission Statements That Work - Really!

Quality Basics - Best Practices

Workshop Teaser

 So, there’s a problem at work, and you’ve been asked to participate as a member of a task force charged with “getting it fixed.”

 A decent Root Cause Analysis has already been completed.  However, the elements of a Corrective Action Plan are not readily obvious to all participants - who have a wide variety of backgrounds and points of view.  No consensus seems to be forming.

 Your sensitivity to group dynamics tells you the group is unlikely to ever really agree on, and get behind, the “HOW” (the “DO” of PDCA) until they agree on “WHAT” they ultimately want to accomplish — the “Plan” of PDCA, or the “Define” phase of DMAIC.

 But you’re not sure what method to use to clarify and achieve genuine alignment quickly enough to hold everyone’s attention…,  unless you attended the October Golden Spike dinner meeting, where you learned a low-risk technique for creating powerful Project Scopes or Mission Statements that will enable you to focus everyone on a common goal in less than an hour.

This is the same workshop that was presented in 2009 at the Audit Division Conference in Tucson and in March of 2010 at the Quality Management Division Conference in New Orleans, and was also featured in the May-June issue of The Auditor.
