CHANGE CATALYSTS
Regarding the upcoming Automotive Manufacturing Supplier Quality Assurance Conference, Dr. Trautlein offers the following recommendation:
“The world of automotive supplier quality is a constantly shifting landscape, from globalization to heightened standards to new technologies. The pace of change is increasing in scope, pace, and complexity. According to research, as many as 70% of attempts to change organizations and “ways of working” fail, or at least fall short of expectations. To compete and thrive in the current economy, ASQ professionals need to understand the changes impacting their industry – and also to build their personal capacity to not only cope with but to powerfully lead successful and sustainable change. The ASQ Conference is the perfect place to do just that. I’m especially excited about Mike Down’s presentation on Communication Strategies to Secure Internal Support of Supplier Quality Assurance Goals and Dave Benedict’s on Maintaining Quality with Globalized Suppliesr and Automotice Manufacturing Teams – building internal, external, cross-functional, and cross-level partnerships are vital for the success of any change effort. And of course I’m looking forward to sharing relevant, real-world insights on leveraging Change Intelligence to achieve mission-critical objectives with conference attendees in my presentation as well!”
