Random Acts of Quality

Usually, when discussing quality, we usually fall into two traps – we wave our arms and talk about quality as a nebulous thing that is tough to define and even tougher to achieve, or we present grand Quality Schemes that will take years to implement and often fail to result in a better product.

In this presentation, we’ll discuss specific activities you can perform in your organization that can contribute to improving product quality. Simple, small-scale activities that don’t require management approval, committees or corporate initiatives will face much lower barriers and specific activities are more likely to reveal progress in the short term.

A collection of Random Acts are presented for discussion, and participants are encouraged to bring along anecdotes of simple things that have worked in their careers as well.

  • What People are Saying

    Jim was the head instructor for the Certificate Program in Project Management at Sauder School of Business, UBC. I had the privilege of benefitting from his vast experience and great patience as he guided us to the successful completion of this challenging program. Jim was able to de-mystify the sober and precise task of project management creating a fun learning environment based on constructive collaboration and interaction.
