Quality is Free - But How Do We Measure the Cost? Customers demand quality in both products and services. Philip Crosby's 1985 assertion that "quality is free" prompts an analysis of the four aspects of the cost of quality: prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. We will explore the true costs of each element and how to measure them, testing the idea that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Understanding the true cost and value of quality is essential. Understanding and Mitigating External and Internal Risks: How? Risk is an inherent part of modern business, and the role of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) now encompasses more than just financial management. This seminar will equip professionals with the tools to understand and mitigate both external and internal risks, ensuring organizational performance and sustainability. Adequate preparation is crucial to avoid unnecessary risks. This course is essential for leaders and organizations aiming to survive and thrive. Insurance - How to Manage Your Insurance Program At its core, insurance is about risk management. Leaders must consider what types of insurance are needed, coverage limits, acceptable deductibles, and the difference between a deductible and self-insured retention. Understanding insurance contracts and knowing what to expect from an insurance broker is crucial. This overview is designed for those responsible for insurance and risk, emphasizing the importance of a practical approach to managing insurance for organizational viability. Effective Implementation of Enterprise Risk Management Many have attempted implementation of ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) systems, and many have failed. This seminar will offer a roadmap for embedding effective ERM practices into daily management and planning without disrupting the organization.
