the world take part in a variety of activities such as business-wide seminars, presentations, quizzes
and competitions at their workplace. Events are usually organised by quality professionals based
within organisations and are designed to spread the ‘importance of quality’ message to non-quality

be defined through five main areas – governance, assurance, improvement, leadership and context.
