Climbing out of the Box: Bringing Your Quality Career into the Digital Era
Deadlines, commitments, policies, and procedures are a few of the many things that are essential for teams and organizations to deliver and grow. But too often, these constructs become constraints on our thinking, our creativity, and our growth as individuals. Today’s business climate requires fast-paced delivery and real-time interaction with customers; putting our own development second feels necessary for survival.
Join executive and entrepreneur Anne Hungate for a dynamic exploration of how we can drive satisfaction, career growth, and life balance by climbing outside of the box defined by our roles. A dedicated learner and willing risk-taker, Anne will share her story of applying her learning as a Quality professional to help organizations thrive, and provide real examples of others who have stepped outside of their roles to see the value a Quality mindset provides across organizations.
The Digital Era needs daring dedication to accuracy and customer experience – perfect conditions for Quality professionals to thrive… if they’re willing to climb out of the box!
