This will be the third DHIQC annual conference in recent years. The object of the ongoing theme A2A refers to ‘Adversity to Advantage. How to make your organisation the best in class. Progressively we have encouraged our students to present papers at our conferences as part of their development. This has proved attractive to delegates in seeing what they have achieved as a consequence of their course work. For example, one student actually saved his company over $3m in an improvement project and was promoted on the strength of it. Another has recently improved a process from taking 5 days down to 5 hours! This year our students are being encouraged to present papers related to Sustainable packaging as the main theme. This was a suggestion by one of our students on our Diploma in Quality Leadership.
