CQI announces finalists for the International Quality Awards
Progress indicator
We are excited to announce the finalists and notable entries for the inaugural International Quality Awards, in association with our proud partner DNV GL.
The awards span across six categories, recognising the contribution of quality professionals across the globe. Entries were received from over 28 countries and were judged by a panel of experts.
Estelle Clark, Chairman of the Judging Panels and Executive Director of Policy at CQI said, “The volume of awards we received exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled with the diverse range of quality entries that demonstrate best practice in governance, assurance, continuous improvement and exemplary leadership. We also received many submissions from people outside of the UK, including where the CQI has quite a small presence. This shows us we were right in our thinking that quality professionals all over the world would see the importance of explaining how the job that they do adds value to their organisation. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the value of quality at the awards ceremony.”
