"Quality improvement. It's gotten a bad name in our organization from years ago when the training was required and results were not what anyone expected. It's something some of our departments strive for, but don't realize how useful a visual depiction can be to find out what is actually happening. Others could care less whether they look at their data or not. Q-Skills has help our organization put some walk in our talk. "
"We have used it to look at departments that aren't functioning as well as the organization thinks they should be. The data is actually gathered from those performing the job duties. My Human Resource's role is interviewing each person then flow charting with Q-Skills, each of the position descriptions and the processes they perform. I share a notebook of all this work with upper management and middle management. A lot of times we discover that no one in the organization even knows why a certain function is being performed. Once each position in the department has been charted and compared to the others, you can visually see where the problems lie.(ie. processes flowing through too many people, duplication, outdated processes etc.) It has been a great tool in redesigning the departmental structure. In one department we were able to eliminate three positions as a result of our work. I would recommend it to others."
Telstra (Kaye Barclay)
"I've purchased it at my last two companies and can't say enough good things about it. "
Florida Power & Light ( Dr. Jane
Mahoney )
"To our friends at MicroMultimedia, "
"On behalf of all of our team members, may I thank you for the wonderful contribution that you've made to quality training here at Florida Power & Light.
As you know, our Q-Skills software is running, without a glitch, on our corporate intranet. We're receiving very positive feedback on the courseware from both our Information Management and Power Generation units. We're all enjoying the mythical quality of the software content, and the humor that's embedded in the most unexpected places. It's clear that you've put much of yourselves into this software design, giving it much depth and texture.
Yours sincerely, Dr. Jane Mahoney "
Air Force (Kate Dawson)
"Q-Skills makes an otherwise dry subject interesting and entertaining"
Blue Cross Blue Shield (Shelley Bowen)
"We purchased Q-skills to serve both as an introductory training approach for quality principles and tools, and as an on-line resource toolkit
for people to use once they are within a project. We are trying to bring more discipline and "science" to the application of quality
principles to our company's improvement efforts. Changing the culture from "my best guess" to "fact-based" will require lots
of patience, but we feel that the Q-skills application will help. The management learning system reports are likely to be particularly valuable
down the road. I was particularly enchanted by the ease with which customization can be done - we have some accreditation training that is required
and it would be easy to reference.
We found David Fletcher and Tony Burns to be most helpful at every turn of the purchase and installation process. They provided excellent support
to me and the feedback I got from my team was very positive."
National Rail (Julia Young - HR Director)
"Q-Skills has been a great success"
