A Quality System That Collaborates With Technology

“I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.”

—Nehru, Jawaharlal Indian statesman (1889-1964)

Purposeful discussion with the purpose of eventual action has long been viewed by the wisest of the wise as a process that results in better products or ideas than would have originally been conceived by one person.

This combined “effort of the minds” is often referred to as collaboration.

A quality system with collaboration isn’t enough however. The ever developing element of technology must be included for better and faster collaboration.
