Marketing your business – How to build and implement marketing campaigns

Marketing is the method by which you attract potential customers to your business. Potential customers could contact you in person if you have a shop or other bricks and mortar type of property, or it could be a phone call, email or even a visitor to your website. A marketing campaign is simply a way to market your business in a joined up way with consistent information presented professionally.
It has been proven time and time again that all successful businesses regularly implement marketing campaigns to attract new customers.
Building and implementing a marketing campaign can be daunting if you haven’t been trained in what to do. The web based marketing workshop, consultancy and mentoring programs take you through a proven step by step process to build and implement your marketing campaign.

Training workshop for a proven supplier management process

Background of the supplier management process
No businesses can exist completely in isolation without support and assistance from some form of suppliers. Suppliers can come in many types, supplying all sorts of products of their own, from intellectual support through to bespoke high level designed and manufactured products.
Nearly all businesses will need to be able to work with and manage their suppliers in order to successfully deliver products and projects.

The supplier management process
The supplier management process given in this training workshop describes the methods and deliverables that should be followed by a business to ensure their suppliers carry out the tasks required at the right time. The deliverables required to manage suppliers are aligned to the activities and gateways described in the product development process.
In essence these deliverables are targeted at ensuring the supplier follows a process that dovetails into, and supports the requirements of the product development process. There is little point in a business operating a product delivery process internally to ensure their products are delivered to the highest standards if any bought in parts and materials are not to the same high standard.
The process starts from product concept and continues through the product development activities and ends when the product is in full scale production.

The supplier management training course
This one day on-site supplier management training course explains how to successfully operate the supplier management process. The intent of this and all our training courses is not to tell or show the trainees what to do but to impart the capability to perform the required tasks. There is no limit to the number of trainees but we strongly recommend no more than 5 individuals attend per course. We find that if there are any more than this the training becomes ineffective and wasteful.
This course is targeted at the product design engineers, the manufacturing engineers and the programme managers delivering new products. This training course is given in English. All our courses are designed to be informal and are based around a series of discussions and practical exercises.

Training workshop for a proven project management process

Background of the project management methodology
A project is a one off activity that will never be exactly repeated, which has a defined start point and a defined end point. Project management is the process by which the project is planned, monitored and delivered. Thereby meeting the requirements of the desired outcome, usually in terms of time, cost and quality.

The project management methodology
This project management methodology describes an idealised product development process. It has been developed with the firm belief that good product quality can only be delivered through a robust and thorough product development process. This process takes a product centric viewpoint that builds quality into the product as it is developed.
A relatively high level process is described whereby a series of tasks are completed prior to a project gateway where the status of these tasks is formally reviewed, documented and approved by the business. When a gateway is approved the product delivery can move on to the next set of tasks and activities. However, if the requirements of the gateway are not met the project should be paused until those deliverables are completed to the desired standard.

Training workshop for the powerful 8D problem solving process

Background of the 8D problem management and resolution tool
No matter how well product development is planned and executed, defects are generated that can escape to the customers and end users. Failure to resolve product problems quickly can lead to negative consequences for the customers and increases the internal business costs. Problem resolution is one of the most time consuming and costly tasks in project life cycles. It is therefore imperative that the business can recognise the problem and apply the necessary resources to correct the problem.
This 8D problem solving process defines a formal process that allows the business to resolve product problems quickly and permanently. This not only minimises the effects on the customers but also reduces the overall costs incurred by the business.

The 8D problem management and resolution tool
Problem resolution will not necessarily happen by itself. This is especially true if the problem goes unnoticed by the business or the business does not have the tools and processes to correct the problem. This training goes through the latest 10 step 8D problem solving process as outlined below:

• Identify the need for a problem resolution
• Establish the problem resolution team
• Describe the problem
• Develop containment
• Define the root cause of the defined problem
• Develop a permanent corrective action
• Validate and implement the permanent corrective action
• Prevent the problem from re-occurring
• Replicate the solution
• Recognise the team

A problem management reporting methodology is also defined that allows others within the business to quickly and easily understand the status of the problem resolution process.
