Abstract

QFD was originally envisaged as a system for product development. It deploys the voice of the customer through all stages of the design process, to ensure that everyone knows what they must do to ensure the final product delivers value to the final customer and other important stakeholders. In a similar manner, the strategy of an organisation can be seen as the management product. It is the way the organisation delivers value to its owners, customers, employees and other important stakeholders. Thus the QFD principles can be used to develop an organisation's future vision, and deploy it through strategies and action programs, so that everyone knows what they must do to ensure the final vision is achieved and delivers the desired value to the organisation's stakeholders.

In this interactive workshop, participants will:
- Apply a QFD based team approach to the development and deployment of vision and strategy
- Use a computer based Group Decision Support System to support and enhance the team and strategy processes
