Trial Run
It has been our experience that the reason why so many initiatives fail or lose momentum is because there is neither a process and structure nor a discipline in place to ensure its implementation, but also that the champions of the process are not sufficiently trained and practiced. Therefore, the QCDSM process builds into its implementation process the Trial Run: a practice period that is held for 2-4 weeks.

Once the data, charts and the practical details of setting up the meeting and developing the processes to support the meetings are in place as well as the training of the Strategy Module, they are now required, with the support of their colleagues and management structure, to practice the meetings they are going to conduct without their group being present.

Like any good theatre production, the rehearsals and dress rehearsals can be the making or the breaking of the production. The same applies to the Trial Runs.

Practicing with their colleagues, the leaders will learn how to collect the data required for the charts and agendas and measure themselves in terms of the time needed to do this task. They are then going to practice how to fill in the charts and then conduct the meeting correctly relating the data collected to the targets for that period of time. In this rehearsal they are coached on how to facilitate a meeting, involve their group in discussions and most importantly, elicit ideas and suggestions on what is being measured.

In companies where great attention has been paid to this essential period of training, remarkable success has been achieved at the start up and in the conducting of subsequent meetings.
