American Society of Quality Dinner Forum 

Speaker Topic:  Innovating Quality for the 21st Century 

Innovation is the in thing in profit and nonprofit organizations, commercial and private organizations, and in all levels of government. We will discuss how innovative the quality professional has been and define some of the improvement opportunities that faces the quality profession. It's a matter of adding value or getting out of the way.

The purpose of my lecture will be to stimulate the desire to apply innovation to the quality methodologies. Is it time to subcontract our quality activities to companies that this is their core competency? Radical I didn't I admit but we need something radical to justify our existence.
