About this listen

Quality Professionals strive to make businesses and society a better place. We do not achieve such efforts single handedly though. We engage with so many people and subject matter experts from around the world. Having a clear understanding of how and who we interact with makes a successful calibration and helps in driving winning strategies. Join my podcast as I connect with Global Quality and Business leaders to better explain how to calibrate with different stakeholders and how to drive success.
