Quality 504: How to Use ISO 9004 to Improve Your Manufacturing Operation Quality 504: How to Use ISO 9004 to Improve Your Manufacturing Operation 10:00 am-11:00 am September 15, 2022 It’s obvious that poor product or process quality can have a significant impact on a manufacturer’s reputation and bottom line. In almost every case, the underlying cause of quality concerns can be traced back to the processes and procedures that are used during manufacturing. But, we often overlook the quality identity of our companies. Fortunately, ISO 9004 provides the improvement framework needed to help “ISO-class” companies understand their quality identities to achieve sustained operational success. It was specifically designed to help companies mature and improve their QMS (Quality Management System). It is not prescriptive but instead reframes the concepts and assists companies in identifying the areas in most need of improvement. During this webinar, CMTC Quality Practice Lead Eliot Dratch will give an overview of the 7 themes in ISO 9004, while providing enough details so companies can see the benefit of applying this standard to their own operational improvements.

Crafting a Buzz-Worthy Brand Story to Stand Out From Your Competitors

It used to take 7 touches to close a sale. Now that number has gone up to 16. How can your team find different ways to engage in effective sales conversations to win more customers? The answer is StorySelling. If you’re not familiar with this term, you’re not the only one. Mellissa Tong coined this term to illustrate the difference between storytelling and storyselling. Storyselling is to storysell your products/services/ideas through storytelling to inspire action, whether that is to increase market share, build awareness, or drive sales. We all know that it takes your customers to like and trust you before they buy from you, and there is no faster way to inspire actions than storytelling. A SCORE webinar.
