Why is committee work important for you and your company? That's easy to answer with a practical example. For example, let's stay with a fundamental topic: QUALITY! The VDMA association, for example, established the Quality Management Working Group years ago.

There’s always room for a Daily Management Board! In this Customer Service department, I coached the introduction of a Daily Management Board. They were regularly missing key deliveries and having to address irate customers. The Board was aimed at bringing stability & then improvement to their department through the focus on key metrics. Returning to satisfied customers. Initially it was difficult to find a suitable location within the office and being the only vacant wall, I thought that it might restrict engagement and sustainability might struggle. I used the national standard SQDCI Board and associated Action Plan but after a few days they wanted another smaller board on the right, to capture important key dates for VIP clients (ensuring that critical jobs were reviewed and actioned to meet customer delivery dates). The wall didn’t have that much space. When I returned a month later, they were excited at how powerful the board had become and were disappointed they didn’t start it months ago. One staff member said to me, “Why did you doubt it would survive, there’s always room for a Daily Management Board”. I learnt a whole lot that day. Are you a Leader that is open to constantly learning, regardless of the source?

As the Quality Management function has become intertwined with most processes in the modern factory, its value evolved from just error detection to prevention and continuous improvement. Despite this evolution, some questions remain: Why hasn’t quality yet secured a seat at the boardroom table?

In our recent Quality Talks webinar, Gerben de Haan, CPO and Co-founder of AlisQI, delved into this topic. https://lnkd.in/g_UGU_ZZ
