Celebrating World Quality Month!

In his last post, ASQ CEO Paul Borawsky asked everyone to share their “quality moments“, an experience at work where you improved something or solved a problem, or any quality event occurred outside of work.

Among all my quality moments, I should say that the biggest one was to be part of the team who implemented and successfully achieved a CMM (Capability Maturity Model) Level 2 in a software development company, back in 2005. And let me tell you that the moment when the CMM Judge told to the entire company that we successfully had passed the assessment and achieved CMM Level 2, I felt extremely happy to contribute with my knowledge and work, to improve the company effectiveness, efficiency, and QUALITY.

As every year, here is the ASQ site (worldqualitymonth.org) that provides a platform for acknowledging the efforts and accomplishments of quality and all who work to make it happen. Please, check the following video where you can learn about activities and contests occurring during #WQM13.

As you can see on the video, one of the fun activities you can “play” with, is a tool where you can turn your favorite quality quote into an image you can share on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter (use hashtag #WQM13), or print and display your quote in places where you or your colleagues could use some extra inspiration. So here is mine: taking a truth that E. Deming said, plus one of my thoughts that I use every single day in my life, here is my Quality Quote:
