During the summer of 2024, a colleague of mine at work (Siemens Energy Canada) told me that they were organizing a workshop for the company’s Internal Quality group. Knowing that I am with the ASQ Montreal Section, they asked if it might be possible for someone within ASQ to come and give a Quality-related presentation during the workshop.
After a few discussions, both internally within our Section Leadership Team, as well as with the workshop organizers, our Section Education Chair Dr. David Tozer was present on-site on November 19, 2024 to help kick off the workshop.
As per David’s own words: “The presentation at Siemens Energy Canada, on 19 November, was a success. The main focus of the presentation was the formation of a quality steering committee, and getting people to work on real issues affecting everyone. The session was very interactive and some consensus was built on how to proceed. The event I lead was followed up in the afternoon with more expansion of the way to go.“
I was able to attend the session and some of the pictures I took are below.
In short, it felt good to help organize David’s visit and presentation, as well as see the ASQ Montreal Section contributing to the Quality profession “out in the field”.
