Using deep dives in quality assurance

SDN-Mesma webinar | Register your interest

Deep dives can be an excellent addition to your quality assurance cycle if done well. They can help overcome one of the key challenges we are often asked by quality professionals; How can I better involve my colleagues in quality assurance?

A deep dive review or enquiry is standard practice within the quality assurance toolbox. It even has its own dictionary definition ‘to conduct a thorough investigation and analysis of something”.

Conducting a deep dive is a technique that we can use to:

  • Solve problems
  • Generate ideas
  • Fully understand a situation

We’ll help you:

  • Consider the activities that can make up a deep dive and why to do them
  • Explore simple techniques for evaluation, ideas generation and problem solving
  • Understand our 7 top tips that result in success
  • Understand how Ofsted use deep dives during inspection
  • Determine how to use deep dives as part of your annual quality cycle
