Improvement Leader

Through our inspiring Masterclasses, delivered by sector experts being specialists in their field, and with appropriate coaching, CQM T&C will deliver the strategic level technical skills and knowledge your team requires to execute operational excellence effectively.

This programme is ideal for those who are responsible for developing improvement strategy, providing leadership in improvement for the business and for coaching and supporting Improvement Specialists in advanced analysis. The Improvement Leader typically reports to Board members or Heads of Department and manages (directly and/or matrix) a team of Improvement Specialists, who deploy the strategy, and lead improvement projects. They work closely with all functions of the business to support the setting and achievement of business goals, often accountable for Improvement activities within the largest-scale and highest priority programmes of work.

The Improvement Leader programme provides your employees with the skills, knowledge, and behaviours required for:

• Strategic deployment of continuous improvement, business benefits – both financial and non-financial, team formation and leadership, project management
• Measurement systems analysis, experimentation and optimisation, statistics and graphical analysis, SPC, Failure Mode Avoidance

Qualification CQM T&C can underpin the delivery of the apprenticeship programmes with a Lean Six Sigma qualification.

Measurable Impact Each project will be defined, qualified and approved within a Profit Improvement Plan (PIP), agreed with you in advance. The PIP is a great management tool and clearly demonstrates the progress of each project using DMAIC and a RAG rating.

Mentors We can help identify, and advise on a suitable Mentor within your organisation. We are able to provide coaching to the nominated Mentor so that they fully understand their role and what will be required of them, but also understand the guidelines within which they operate and to whom they report.
