That’s Excellent!
Delivering Quality at Every Level
Webster’s
dictionary defines quality as “degree of
excellence”. Consumers are inundated
every day with businesses claiming to convey quality
in the goods or services they provide. It
goes to reason that the greater the quality, the
greater the value. The greater the value, the greater
the price. Ford motor company’s tagline “Quality
is Job 1”, is a catchy moniker designed to
communicate the company’s consistent focus
on delivering quality. Yet, Ford has lost
market share for 10 years in a row, and is in the
process of closing 14 plants. Are they really
delivering the quality they profess? Promising
quality is easy, delivering quality is not. In
this fast paced and lively session, you’ll
discover strategies and techniques to assist in
creating a company culture focused on delivering
excellence. You’ll learn how successful
companies hire for and reinforce an expectation of
quality at every level of the organization.

marketing efforts, understand how trends affect the
overall business climate and receive innovative methods

green” without going into the red? Whether your community is coming
out of the ground or is 30 years old, this dynamic session will show you how
