The Quality Culture Playbook: How to Build a Quality Culture

To be truly successful, quality must go beyond just meeting compliance requirements. When quality is a core practice at a company, everyone from the end patient to the investors benefit. A Harvard study on quality found that a “company with a highly developed culture of quality spends, on average, $350 million less annually fixing mistakes than a company with a poorly developed one.” This webinar will show participants how to define their quality culture and help everyone on your team strive to improve it.

Register for this webinar to learn from quality experts from Qualio, 4G Clinical and others who have successfully built a quality culture. Participants will take away lessons for building a quality-driven culture that they can apply today.
