Update Information:
Over the years, we've received feedback from many of our clients. Feedback has focused on what works well and what parts of the program are difficult to facilitate. In addition, clients have expressed concern about the length of the program letting ODI know that seven days to deliver the program is a lot of time.
ODI has taken that feedback and the result is the new program Managing for Productivity 2009. Here are the highlights of the changes.
- We have attempted to keep the “magic” of the program. This basically means maintaining the foundational nature of the program and avoiding trendy material that may be current today. It also means keeping the current structure of the program: managing individuals, managing groups, managing change, and managing performance.
- We have designed the materials so that current (and past) facilitators of MFP/QMS can use the new version without any further training.
- We have condensed the program into ten units. As a result, there is now one program, not two. Some materials from the Application Guide have been brought into the main program.
- We have revised the pre-readings. We brought the language up to date and minimized the TQM focus that was added in the 1990 revision. We made sure the readings are congruent with the content. We will also make the pre-readings available as PDF files so that clients can put them on their intranet for participants to read.
- We maintained the current half day per unit format. Hence, the program would take a total of five days to deliver.
- We wish to maintain and reinforce the work-study format to deliver the program. This would lead to the sessions being structured in a 1 ½ day, 2 day, 1 ½ day format with about a month in between sessions.
- We have revised the videos to make them more current.
- The facilitator manual has been revised to reflect the new content. There is a new section in the manual with advice about how to prepare participants and their bosses to attend the program. We’ve learned that effective preparation to attending the course is a critical success factor.
- Supplemental materials for facilitators have been not only revised but enhanced.
