Business leaders have long realized that creativity leads to innovation, which is a key ingredient to achieving success. They recognize that innovation is the most important single skill that an organization can possess if it is to remain competitive. 

My introduction to quality commenced at a manufacturing plant where I started at an entry-level product packaging position. 

Good leadership is necessary for any successful company, no matter what circumstances surround your business. But in times of crisis it becomes even more important. How your company weathers this crisis may have lasting effects for years to come. 

Some time ago, I spoke to a group about organizational culture. Considering what is happening today it might be appropriate to present a few thoughts to a broader audience. Each person can determine how it might apply to their circumstances.

A company with a highly developed culture of quality spends, on average, $350M less annually fixing mistakes than a company with a poorly developed one (Harvard Business Review, 2014). 

The global pandemic has affected most manufacturers at an operational level. But many savvy manufacturers are also seeing this as an opportunity to rethink how they approach many aspects of their business with the aim of improving flexibility and agility. We can help.

Great leaders inspire people to do great things. They can comfort during times of difficulty and strife, calm a country during conflicts, and bring out the best in their staff.
