Enrolments for this free (yet profoundly valuable) program are taken all year round. To Enrol or Enquire, click the button, fill in the form, and we’ll promptly get back to you with details about the next commencement date. Further details can be found here.
This study program consists of the 12 Days to Deming Active Learning Course created by Dr. Henry Neave, author of The Deming Dimension. There are facilitated online group sessions where participants share their learnings and insights. Participants are welcome to stay online longer to continue discussion if desired.
The sessions are weekly and 1 hour long. There are currently separate morning (8am to 9am) and afternoon (5pm to 6pm) sessions (AEST/AEDT).
The material is arranged for self-study. The expectation is that you will complete the study for a particular day, and exchange thoughts, insights, concerns, experiences, etc, with the broader group.
Events Program
GQC events focus on a particular theme or topic and feature engaging speakers and / or practitioners who share their knowledge, experiences and insights with participants. This is followed by an informal question and answer session which provides participants the opportunity to dig deeper and draw out further learnings. Events provide the opportunity to network with other people interested in quality and related topics.
Our busy events calendar includes a mix of online and face to face events, panels, seminars and workshops and are open to everybody regardless of location / participants from across the Geelong region and beyond.
