RSS Training Courses 2009 - Continuing Professional Development for statisticians and users of statistics..
Forthcoming courses include:
Statisticians in a Six Sigma Organisation - 17th June 2009 - London (Roland Caulcutt)
What contribution can a statistician make within an organisation that is pursuing a Six Sigma strategy? Many large organisations are using Six Sigma strategy to improve performance. This is achieved by trained employees - known as "blackbelts" and "greenbelts" - using statistical techniques to improve processes. In many cases the statisticians employed by the organisation are not involved; though there are many ways that they could usefully participate. Roland Caulcutt has trained hundreds of blackbelts and greenbelts in several large organisations. Using a business simulation, he will demonstrate how the improvements are achieved and how statisticians can effectively contribute.
Consultancy Skills - 2-3 September - London (Roland Caulcutt & Dr. Julie Bullen)
For any statisticians who wish to improve their effectiveness as consultants. Interpersonal skills can greatly influence the effectiveness of statistical consultancy. This course goes beyond our introductory course by offering role-play sessions and supporting feedback from experienced coaches.
Effective Mentoring and Coaching - 3rd September - London (Peter English)
Mentoring and coaching can be a powerful and cost effective way of developing people within the workplace. Evidence shows that the effectiveness of mentoring and coaching is significantly improved if the mentor or coach has been trained in the role.
Presenting Data - 17th September - London (Ed Swires-Hennessy)
For anyone involved in communicating statistics and the message contained in them.

The Royal Statistical Society (RSS) launched its Professional Development Centre (PDC) in January 2007 with the aim of providing training courses to enhance the provision of continuing professional development for statisticians and users of statistics.
At the PDC we consult with statisticians throughout the RSS and training managers in organisations where many staff use statistics on a daily basis as an integral part of their work, to put together a programme which responds to identified needs.
New courses are being commissioned all the time. For all latest updates and further details about what's covered in each course and course fees please check our website: www.rss.org.uk/courses<file:///\\www.rss.org.uk\courses>
