PQMS Associate Manager Scheme
"Wouldn’t it be good if I had a really experienced business person to help with quality or performance issues on a permanent, but part-time basis?
Wouldn’t it be good if I didn’t have to pay the earth to have that help?"

Small, new and expanding companies typically are unable to justify the costs of dedicated functional managers with corporate experience. We have the solution; it’s what we call our PQMS Associate Manager Scheme.

This scheme can include just one, a combination of, or all of the services offered by PQMS. You tell us what you want and we will tailor the contract to meet your exact requirements. As PQMS operates in association with one of the largest networks of business consultants in the UK should elements of the project fall outside the experience or skills of PQMS then we can tap into the extensive resources of this network.

For a negotiated monthly fee over a fixed term period (minimum contract period under this scheme is 6 months) you will have the services of a PQMS Associate Manager for a defined number of days per month. This will also include a reasonable level of telephone and email support outside of the agreed “service days”.

The whole concept of this scheme is its flexibility. For instance, you can have your contracted days scheduled on a monthly basis or as a total number of days to be taken as required over the contract period.

PQMS Associate Manager Scheme Overview

Initial free of charge, no obligation, consultative meeting. The purpose of this short meeting is to provide you with more information on PQMS and its services and for us to gain a basic understanding of your business and business objectives.

The Business Analysis will not normally take more than one day. PQMS will look at all aspects of the business to identify: areas for potential improvement, any gaps, and waste.

The summary report is primarily to assist the scoping of the project. It will detail areas for potential improvement, with the rationale, and the benefits that can be realised.

The purpose of this meeting is to define the project scope, its objectives and agree contract. During this meeting the output from the Business Analysis will be discussed in detail along with your own objectives and requirements.

Project is initiated with ongoing review as appropriate.

NB: If you sign up to the scheme for a minimum period of 6 months then the cost of the Business Analysis will be deducted from your 6th monthly payment.
