What Quality Professional Need to Know to Help Them Sleep Better at Night
There is a very long history of quality management theories. Today there are so many choices that we’re in a Crisis in Quality. Of all of the quality processes and tools, which ones should we be using today? Unfortunately, many organizations determine the “right” quality process or tool based on “what’s the latest fad” whether it’s Six Sigma, Lean, Innovation, Project Management, Cost of Quality, etc. They identify these fads through articles, blogs, conference presentations, etc. As quality leaders we’re so eager for some magical cure to our challenges that we rush to embrace these fads and when they fail to deliver quick results, we drop them and move to the next one. But is constant change what we really want for our organization? In this presentation Michael will address all of quality issues facing organizations today. He’ll share his research and case studies about today's quality leadership challenges. You’ll leave with a clear understanding on how to create a Strategic Quality Plan and how to determine the best quality approach for your organization. Michael promises you’ll sleep better after this keynote.

Ignite Innovation
We struggle trying to define what is innovation? This lack of understanding stifles the re-shaping of our culture to be more innovation. Innovation is not the result of a lone genius; rather it is a collaborative process where people from many different parts of the organization contribute to the creation and implementation of new ideas. In this presentation we’ll explore how to foster the culture required to develop these collaborative efforts for innovation. We’ll discuss how to overcome some of the challenges and grab the opportunities that a culture of innovation will generate. This insightful presentation will explore how innovation is affected by generational and cultural differences and how to work with these differences to create a strong culture of innovation. Be prepared to learn the innovation process so that you can immediately ignite innovation in your organization.
