Hello all

Hello everyone, I’m new

In fact I have been lurking for a while but this is my first post.

I have been working in Quality since 2011, both automotive and medical devices.
I have some substantial experience that I hope can help others and likewise I hope to find likeminded people and advice dealing with the never-ending challenges this job brings.

I recently took the decision to move to Product Management, only to realise once again I am wired to work in Quality and my principles are incompatible with a certain sell-at-all-costs mentality, so I’m looking forward to go back to my tribe.

Meanwhile, having plunged into a different side of the business I can certainly offer a broader perspective on some of the higher level issues Quality departments and Managers face.

Looking forward to become more active here

For example, in my experience, the biggest struggle with implementing effective Quality policies and procedures has always been the need for a cultural change.

Now I think that this cultural change is even more problematic than I initially thought and maybe it was naive of me to think it can be driven from top down.

I’d like to hear people’s ideas and opinion on it.

Welcome lisap!

I am very interested in organizational/cultural effects and change. I look forward to seeing more of you here.
