Conference Theme and Focus Areas

Justify the World Conference to your boss.

Travel and training budgets have been reduced over the past few years while many companies experienced financial problems. Although financial problems are receding for some, travel and training budgets are slow to come back. Conferences are especially difficult to justify because there are travel and conference costs in addition to time away from work. Here are talking points to get you to the 2012 World Conference:

• Bring the World Conference to the office. Again this year, your registration gives you access to recordings of the conference’s more than 100 sessions. This will provide training for the entire office for months to come.
• Network. Rub elbows with individuals who have implemented cost savings and quality improvement in their organization. Talk to them. Learn from them.
• Learn from the live team case studies. See real-life examples of quality tools at work.
• Implement. After the conference implement one quality tool you learned. Document the savings and you will never have an issue proving the worth of the World Conference again.
• DIY. Learn the quality tools necessary to fix your problems in-house and eliminate consultant fees.
