But Wait, There’s More!

The CAPA & Continuous Improvement Track is an important part of the Summit, but the Summit is so much more.

Pre-Summit Courses

Before the Summit on April 24-25, there are ten pre-Summit Courses to choose from:

What would I recommend as the best choices for someone interested in CAPA & Continuous Improvement? Here are several choices…

  1. Audits and Proactive Improvement Using TapRooT®. This is an excellent course for people looking to proactively improve performance and fits like a hand in a glove for those interested in quality improvement.
  2. Effective Communication Certification. Anyone involved in performance improvement and CAPA needs effective communication skills. And Vincent I Phipps (VIP – the instructor) is a great person to learn communication skills from. Many previous Summit participants will recognize Vincent as one of our previous Keynote Speakers who received rave reviews.
  3. Measurement, Trending, and Predictive Analytics: How the Best Use Data to Improve Work. Kevin McManus will be teaching this course that explains how to use advanced measurement and trending techniques to manage everyday work and trend performance improvement.
  4. TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course. If you haven’t been to a TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course, you need to attend this course. If you THINK you know about root cause analysis, you really don’t know root cause analysis until you attend this course.

All of the courses above are full of valuable knowledge and techniques that you can put to work in a performance improvement program. Click on any course title for details about that course.
