October 30, 2012 – The world is too small? or Is it?

Quality simply cannot be simply be a set of activities or processes, working in isolation of an organization, nor can it merely be a function that is tightly integrated with “business” of an organization, it IS a way of life – be it that of an individual or organization, society or the nation or the world.

Hence, any output of a QUALITY effort should result in a, even if howsoever slight it might be, better world, today and for tomorrow.

“World Quality Month” is an annual celebration of quality and its impact in the world. Through the joint efforts of people passionate about quality and numerous quality organizations around the world, World Quality Month was inaugurated in November 2010. World Quality Month was established to reignite attention once generated in the 1980s by National Quality Month in the U.S. and to create a united, global forum for the people and organizations that have celebrated World Quality Days in November to come together and raise their voices for quality.”

I, in my most humble way, join ASQ in calling “upon the global quality community to submit news about upcoming events, stories on the impact of quality, research articles/white papers/best practices, or any other appropriate content that raises the voice of quality. Having a diverse collection of stories, events, and resources from around the world will effectively showcase the advancement and valuable quality contributions in businesses, communities, and institutions worldwide.”

Please do visit this site often to learn about quality tools and techniques, heroes, the stories of quality in practice every day, and World Quality Month events. Celebrate World Quality Month 2012 with the Global Quality Community. Together—through our collective passion for the community—we will raise the voice of quality worldwide.
