🎯 "2024 was not a good year for quality in terms of what we produce or how we produce it. How can we move from governance to capability in quality? I call for a shift in mindset. Critical quality failures at Boeing in the USA and the Post Office in the UK have highlighted the fundamental impact of poor governance, leadership, and culture. Quality management: a foundation for success At the same time organisations are not improving how work is done or responding to emerging changes from digital transformation to product safety trends at pace. Between 1974 and 2008, the UK’s productivity grew at an average rate of 2.3% per year, and has since grown at only about 0.5% per year. Data from the Office for National Statistics highlights a stark 8.5% decline in public sector productivity since 2019. A firm foundation in the UK would be for the government to advocate for quality management in its policy, from industrial strategy to public service reform. Thinking differently, innovatively and bravely The quality profession must seize this opportunity to step up, engage and influence. Proven, high-quality management is widely recognised as essential for doing business and staying competitive. However, it can also be viewed as a bureaucratic hindrance to business. I look forward to hearing from you responding bravely and innovatively to our ‘think differently’ #WorldQualityWeek theme" (fb)
