Platforms

The School of Applied Business Science provides a holistic approach to process/systems knowledge. Listed below are organizational development platforms structured to equip organizations with the essential implementation for quality through organizational and process structuring, education, training and outreach.

Curriculum: BaseWork Systems^® the Applied Business Science Leadership^® and Best Practices of a Quality Organization Series are comprehensive training systems strategically structured to evolve the organization’s quality and product services to meet the ever-changing demands of their customer. This is accomplished through the use of video streaming, interactive team member handbooks, and Breaking Through the 4 Barriers to Quality.

Team: Each and every employee is considered part of the “team”. The team will collectively work through critical pathways to develop, enhance, and eventually maintain personal, professional and process awareness. At the core of this awareness is BaseValues^®. BaseValues^® are the fundamental principles and values that drive a person’s behavior. The team will be trained on how to demonstrate and monitor these BaseValues^® in their area or division. The BaseValues^® are structured around two rules of behavior: 1. Do what is morally and ethically correct, and 2. Treat others like you want to be treated.

This training focuses on 5 main areas of proficiency:

• Team Meetings: How to develop as a team player
• Problem Solving: The four problem solving processes
• Task Team: Focused, team-diversified strategic implementations
• Process/Systems: The BaseWork Center Assessment^®, a meticulous systems assessment with identification of improvement opportunities
• Training and cross-training team members: Carryover and teaching skill development

Leadership: The training leadership (or “TL”) is, in effect, the organization’s mentors or ‘change agents.’ These employees master the “five areas of proficiency” through a closely monitored series of organizational systems application. The skills gained through this application are used to retrain the team members in their specific areas of expertise and control. The evolution of this training in the front line, supervisory, and managerial staff will provide a wealth of creativity and perceived job-task ownership that will strengthen the organization and better position it for growth and/or expansion in the future. The opportunity to lead is available and encouraged for all team members.
