Reporting
Quality One set up progressive reporting tools at the commencement of the program based around the program’s goals and objectives.
Program reporting would include:
- Progression through program requirements
- Time taken on each component of the program to be completed
- Value of the Program and parts within it
- Resources allocated to the program and parts within it
- Process affected by the program
- Data to be collected by the program
- Key Personnel involved in the program
Project component reporting example in a Lean Six Sigma Program
Reporting should convey the progression through the program, feedback and suggested continuous improvement for the organisation from the program, completion of updates
of organisation management system based on program updates, improvements and requirements.

Training
A significant component of any program delivery is training of personnel. In a program delivery training requirements and delivery can be triggered by:
- The need of the organisation to increase competency capability in a particular area
- Changes to processes
- New technology introduction
- New regulatory requirements
- Changing customer needs, wants and desires
- Gaps discovered in process analysis in audit and risk
- Changing personnel qualifications through personnel exit and entry into the organisation
- Body of working knowledge changes in the organisation (staff turnover)
- Competitor Analysis
- New products
- New or changed safety requirements
- Market forces or market perception
- Organisational Direction
- Field data feedback
In program delivery training can be achieved through:
Training delivery can take on many and multiple channels including:
The choice and combination will be determined by the timeframe of the need, the risk of the competency gap continuing, the size of the personnel required to be
competent and so on.

Work Based Delivery And Assessment
Training delivery will be dependent on the type of results needed by the organisation. Development of training needs to reflect the training types or channels selected
by the organisation. Training delivery can take on many and multiple channels including:
All of which can be incorporated into a work based delivery. Work based delivery requires elements of the training and training exercises to be actively implemented into
the organisation during the training either immediately following the training session or as a staggered delivery between multiple sessions. Types of activities that can
be used as work based delivery are:
- Improvement Projects
- Data Collection, Analysis and Action
- Using live organisational examples as the basis of training exercises
- Program Training Implementation Integration
- Program Milestone Training Actions
- Work based Tutorials on Implementation of Training Requirements
- And more…..
Assessment of training, training delivery and personnel competence can include:
- Monitoring of completion of tasks
- Competency based assessment on training delivery requirements of the organisation
- Monitoring each competency requirement across all required personnel
- Training Matrix before and after view
- Monitoring of KPI through the program and implementation of requirements
- Pre and Post testing of personnel in required skills and competencies
- Monitoring of change management driven by the program
- Work based project component monitoring
- And more……
Positive results in work based delivery, activity and assessment contribute to the overall
program value.

Program Value
In all organisational programs it is imperative to get measures of program value in order to define the success of the program and plan further for program improvements,
setting up future programs and defining the new BAU measurement status. Program value can be determined by measuring, comparing, analysing and potentially altering:
- Process KPI
- Personnel Competency Levels
- Process Competency Coverage
- Process Metrics
- Efficiency
- RTY
- Defect Rates
- Cpk etc.
- OEE
- Process Cost
- ROI
- Organisational Profit
- Organisational Margins
- Personnel required to execute processes
- Projects Completed
- Waste Reduction
- Reduction in COPQ
- And more…
Each program will have its own particular focus and needs to align itself with organisation objectives and goals and existing and future
process metrics
The metrics defining program value need to robustly align themselves with the current organisational reporting structure.
