Total Quality Management

Activity 1 – Exploring Total Quality Management in Your Organization

Step 1

Work in groups of 3. Fold a large sheet of paper in half and label two columns:

Total Quality Management  |  Management By Objectives

Enumerate under each side what aspects of the way your organization operates aligns with each philosophy.

 

Step 2

Once your group has filled out your columns, discuss and think about as a person in the organization independent of your role, how do these ideas affect you?
