Quality Narrative
Quality Narrative: A narrative to describe Quality that everyone is aligned on and can get behind.Quality Core Values: A set of values that people will exhibit every day to uphold the Quality Narrative.Quality Principles: A set of both engineering and behavioural principles that will guide and enable our success.
Quality
The more perspectives we explored, the clearer it became that quality is subjective.
For some, it is the frictionless experience of a product that simply works. For others, it is longevity and adaptability, ensuring something is fit for purpose today and tomorrow. In a manufacturing context, it might mean attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship. In a service context, it might mean confidence, culture, and collaboration.
Everyday life offers countless examples. A Ferrari may embody engineering excellence, but for a family of five managing daily school runs, it is hardly fit for purpose. A Rolex and a Casio both tell the time, but one is valued for its status and aesthetics, the other for durability and function. Even something as ordinary as a toothbrush reflects different standards of quality: soft bristles, hard bristles or electric with each choice being shaped by personal expectation.
Quality is not fixed. It shifts with needs, context, and perspective.

Continuous Quality is building quality in at every stage possible — Stuart Day

Always remember that leadership is a position of privilege and shouldn't be abused. If you truly want to lead with quality, this is the single most important thing you need to realise. As leaders we are there to enable, guide and support people to be and do the best they possibly can and not ever use them for our own personal gain.
