World Quality Week 2024: Quality Begins Where Compliance Ends CQI | The Chartered Quality Institute I had the pleasure of attending an insightful session as part of #WorldQualityWeek, led by Willy Vandenbrande a seasoned expert in quality management. The theme, “Quality Begins Where Compliance Ends,” was a powerful reminder of the evolving role of quality in our organizations. We explored the transition from simply meeting compliance standards to achieving true performance and excellence. Key takeaways included: 📌Moving beyond ISO certifications to make quality a driver for continuous improvement. 📌Understanding that compliance, while important, is merely a baseline in the pursuit of excellence. 📌The need to reframe quality as a core component of organizational strategy, rather than just a checklist. Connecting with fellow quality professionals on LinkedIn during this session allowed us to exchange valuable insights and strengthen our network. This experience underscored that, in today’s world, quality is not about ticking boxes—it’s about creating sustainable value. Let’s embrace the challenge of elevating quality to new heights! #ContinuousImprovement #WorldQualityWeek

🌟 Quality is a Habit, Not a One-Time Act 🌟 "Quality is not an act, it is a habit." – Aristotle True quality isn’t achieved in a single step—it’s built through consistent, everyday actions. In business, this means embedding quality into every process, product, and decision. Let’s commit to making quality a daily practice, setting the foundation for trust and excellence. #QualityManagement #ContinuousImprovement #slyvic2021 #ExcellenceInAction #ISO9001 #QualityCulture

🌱 Quality is a Journey, Not a Destination Reflecting on World Quality Week, I’m reminded why I love working in this field. ISO 9001 isn’t just a standard—it’s a framework that empowers businesses to grow, adapt, and thrive. It’s incredible to see how a commitment to quality can reshape a company’s culture and unlock new levels of performance.

📏 Standards Drive Quality Decisions 📏 "Without a standard, there is no logical basis for making a decision or taking action." – Joseph M. Juran Standards are the foundation of quality management. They provide a clear, consistent benchmark, guiding every decision and action toward excellence. Let’s uphold standards that keep quality strong and our processes effective. #QualityManagement #StandardsMatter #slyvic2021 #InformedDecisions #ISO9001 #ExcellenceThroughStandards

🌍 #WorldQualityDay (#WQD): Reflecting on Over Two Decades of Progress and Challenges 🌍 Today, on World Quality Day, I find myself reflecting on over 20 years in the quality industry. It’s a journey marked by both incredible technological advancements and a haunting familiarity—the same organizational challenges that existed decades ago often still remain. While some have moved from paper-based systems to robust digital solutions, the core fear of change still grips many quality organizations. The very nature of quality demands evolution, yet resistance to that evolution can stall progress. As a member of the ISPE team finalizing the Good Practice Guide for Digital Validation, I’m reminded of how essential it is to cultivate a strong Quality Culture—a focus we've collectively rallied around. We dedicated extensive effort to create a framework that supports digital transformation without compromising the principles of quality and compliance. In January, I’ll be hosting a webinar with Amy Kuntzman, Khaled Moussally and George Brunner to dive deeper into these topics, exploring how to overcome the fear of change and harness technology to strengthen quality management. Let’s continue to advocate for meaningful change, not just in the tools we use, but in the mindsets we bring to quality. #WorldQualityDay #QualityCulture #DigitalTransformation #ISPE #GoodPracticeGuide #EmbraceChange #QualityManagement
