DHIQC 2 Day Conference - Adversity to Advantage Conference Series


Many people from around the World joined us for this event held on the 17th and 18th November 2021 for a 2 Day Conference, the second event in the Adversity to Advantage Conference Series. In this online event we will bring together business leaders to discuss two key topics:

The power of a quality culture as a competitive advantage and the means to achieve the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Presentations can be viewed on the DHIQC Vimeo website. Please contact us fir the Link David@hutchins.co.uk

A Quality Culture is the recognition amongst all employees in a business that quality should be achieved for its own sake, and not just to meet regulatory approval. So whilst it’s clear that having a quality culture will lead to employee productivity and achieving a competitive advantage, how many UK organisations are actually embedding a culture of quality? How many Quality Professionals are exerting influence at board level? On Day 1 of the conference we will hear from industry professionals who will present their own experiences and what they percieve to be the drivers and blocks for achieving a quality culture.

How can the Quality profession make a real difference to sustainability?

Socially and environmentally responsible practices are an increasing talking point for consumers looking to advocate brands. Sustainability is one of the big issues of the current business landscape and business leaders and marketers will know the dangers of a superficial approach to the subject, with worries over greenwashing and customer backlash growing. Many professionals are now asking how sustainable their strategy is, or even how to get started.  Michelle Carvill, the author of 'Sustainable Marketing - How to drive profits with purpose'  is an expert in embedding sustainability in to your business plan. Opening the second day of the conference, Michelle will outline why business leaders need to consider the sustainability factor and why they are best placed to answer the long-term questions that are holding business back. What are businesses doing to move sustainability onto the list of core values? On Day 2 we welcome influencial speakers from the world of Quality who will present on this topic.
