Are you looking for innovative ways to bring your organization to new levels of success and sustained performance?

Mike Della Porta, Vice-President, Business Operations and Technology at Butler Till:

• "To this day, Quality for Leaders is one of the most important and relevant workshops I've ever attended.  I apply what I learned every day!"

Come and find out what leaders in business, education, government, healthcare and not-for-profit need to know about maximizing organizational results in customer loyalty, workforce excellence, speed acceleration, error reduction, growth and bottomline results.

Whom is this for?

This seminar is designed specifically for executive leaders.

Enduring cultures of continous improvement begin with leaders who set the tone and understand that change is a process.  This seminar will provide you with the insights to create a plan to take your organization to the next level of performance and the leadership tool-kit to make it happen.
