The Business Imperative
“The first job we have is to turn out quality merchandise that consumers will buy and keep on buying. If we produce it efficiently and economically, we will earn a profit, in which you will share.”
- William Cooper Procter
Quality, productivity, and cost remain imperatives for modern organizations.

Importance of Quality
Quality is uniquely positioned to accelerate organizational growth through better execution and alignment

Quality and Business Results
Hendricks and Singhal study of quality award winners
Performance results of Baldrige Award recipients
Example: The overall Net Promoter (NP) scores (a loyalty metric defined by the level of repeat sales and referrals) for MEDRAD, a manufacturer of medical imaging devices, were consistently 60 percent or higher compared to the 50 percent or higher marks for other organizations nationwide. MEDRAD’s global customer satisfaction ratings using the NP system steadily increased from 50 percent to 63 percent, surpassing the best-in-class benchmark of 50 percent.

Quality and Personal Values
Personal initiative has a positive impact on business success
Quality-focused individuals often exceed customer expectations
Quality begins with personal attitudes
Attitudes can be changed through awareness and effort (e.g., personal quality checklists)

Unless quality is internalized at the personal level, it will never become rooted in the culture of an organization.
Thus, quality must begin at a personal level (and that means you!).
