Book excerpt: Are you looking for a quality system that drives great experiences for your consumers - and your staff? ‘Create a Great Quality System In Six Months: A blueprint for building the foundations of a great consumer experience’ is a step by step, month by month blueprint for building and implementing a quality system that staff will want to use to create a great consumer experience for every person, every time. The ‘3P’ quality system blueprint is based on the literature, applied research and real world experience that formed the basis of my first book ‘The Strategic Quality Manager’. It builds in buy-in: instead of developing your quality system and then starting on the long journey to gaining staff co-operation, ‘Create a Great Quality System’ does both at once – merging quality mechanics with quality mindsets to achieve great results for consumers. CGQS is primarily written for health and aged care, but the principles and steps apply equally to other service industries such as education and hospitality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The BASICS Handbook is designed to show personnel at all levels within a manufacturing operations environment that, with easy to understand continuous improvement tools, they can make a difference to operational performance where safety, quality, cost, delivery, and people are paramount to business success. The tools and techniques throughout, based upon examples from the author’s experience, demonstrate that no matter what industry, they can bring the desired added value. This book will help any manufacturing shop floor add value in terms of quality/cost and delivery performance. It will also show how using tools and techniques from the “coal face” out will improve process performance by using simple data collection and measurement – not only on outputs, but just as importantly on “critical to quality inputs” such as process parameters and their processing windows – to deliver the desired output KPIs. The power and confidence that this gives to local experts and processing teams enable them to make informed decisions, preventing drifts and non-conforming product: prevention being better than cure. The result of these changes is a tangible cultural impact on the shop floor, raising the level at which operating teams work and improving morale. BASICS will enable staff at all levels to understand their performance measures and produce sustainable results. The book contains practical tools, methods, and techniques that have been tried and tested by the author over a successful 30-year career as a contractor transforming variable processing and inconsistent KPI results.

Book excerpt: Carol Mathewson has a problem. Many of them, in fact. As the new CEO of Kinsley Valley Health Service, she's taken over the helm of an organisation that ranks last in the state for both consumer and staff satisfaction. She loves a challenge-but having just six months to get those results out of the basement is more of a challenge than she bargained for. Her Executive Team is divided, many staff are resistant to change and there are players inside and outside of the organisation willing her to fail.In The Point of Care, Cathy Balding takes organisational improvement from the dry and technical topic it can be, and embeds it in the story of a CEO trying to make a difference against the odds.The Point of Care integrates research and experience from the worlds of quality improvement, clinical governance, change, leadership and management to present a simple but comprehensive approach to evolving an organisation from ordinary to extraordinary. Balding weaves powerful tools, tips, and approaches for achieving high-quality care throughout the tale, making it easy to absorb and apply the lessons.Anyone with an improvement, governance or leadership role in a human service organisation will relate to, enjoy, and learn from the Kinsley Valley Health Service's struggles and successes.
