"I love the simple language and precision of the wording. The language used to pass the message is well simplified and applies to all businesses."
Indigenous East African security company
"Throughout the last years, I remember having made extensive use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) but was only recently introduced to lagging indicators. This course was the first one to explain - in the usual charming, witty but very professional way not only the term "KPI" and its correct use, but also the difference in lagging and leading indicator - for which I am grateful.
Other aspects, like examples of the use of indicators and especially the green papers in the resource section, are of immense benefit to me in general but in my function."

As with all audits I complete (ISO 9001/14001/45001 and OHSAS18001) there are many misconceptions around the process management methodology. This module enables a business to optimize their system and performance.”
