My "agility in QM" approach featured in renowned Quality World, Spring 2023

The article "Agile thinking" by Phil Lattimore, published in the renowned Quality World in its Spring 2023 edition, features my approach for agility in quality management, based on an extensive interview.

Finally! The English, expanded version of my Gabler essential was published by Springer. "Agile in ISO 9001 - How to Integrate Agile Processes into Your Quality Management System" is available as pdf, epub and hardcover book.

"Agile practices and agile teams fit perfectly into a quality management system! Process regulation, control and documentation are necessary. But their definition can be far more general, flexible and self-determined than many people realise."
