Chairman’s Message…
The ISO 9000 standards have evolved
since the first International ISO 9000
Conference was held.
Amendments to
ISO 9001 and ISO 9004 are in progress.
The standards continue to be integrated
in industry specific requirements.
There’s more emphasis on customer
satisfaction and management involvement.
The standards are being combined with
efforts such as Lean and Six Sigma
to enhance the bottom line.
The growth in ISO 9001 certifications
gives every indication that this is
a lasting trend, but the trend won’t
continue automatically. Consistent,
conforming product isn’t just
about words and documentation. Lately,
the mantra “output matters” has
been invoked to suggest that ISO 9000
may be at a crossroads.
We need to be sure we are listening to the customer and to the customers’ customers.
We need to exceed their expectations. We need to respond with outcome-focused
improvements. We need to demonstrate our commitment to improving confidence in
the ability of accredited certification to meet expectations and provide the
required outcomes. I hope you will find ideas and inspiration at the conference
to help you do your part to ensure that outcomes matter.

Message from the Conference Chairs…
“Footprints.” Those things we inevitably leave behind. Have you considered
the improvement footprints you and your organization leave behind? Individuals
and organizations that create the biggest improvement footprints always seem
to be learning and improving. We are no different in our quest to help you and
your organization leave bigger footprints.
How? “Knowledge. Application. Results.” These are the themes of this
year’s conference. We worked hard to exceed last year’s success by
integrating your feedback to make this year’s conference even bigger and
better.
Back are more of what benefited you most – a wide variety of free training
workshops, benchmarking, best practices, and case studies. We have also added
a pre-conference workshop for beginners, plus emerging topics such as Accounting
for the Lean Enterprise, innovation and others.
Hear from a number of well respected presenters and diverse organizations representing
the military, government, education, healthcare, service and manufacturing.
To quote one of last year’s participants, the conference is “well
worth the time invested!”
We trust that you will find the 2008 conference again to be an excellent value.
Whether a beginner or an expert, we have something for you at this conference. “Improvement
Footprints.” We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Marco Luzzatti and Mercedes Bartow, Co-Chairs
