*Topic Brief*

For continuous improvement initiatives, we often hear and read about Six
Sigma, Lean, Process Reengineering, culture change, and organizational
change management. How do we know which one(s) of these are the right tools
to consider? To answer this question, we need to first understand the
underlying concepts of quality.

Our speaker tonight, Linda Tomasi, will discuss: what quality means, what
influences quality, what is strategic quality, what are the pro's and con's
of the tools, and what are the common pitfalls. She will also share with us
what's worked based on her experience in helping organizations implementing
the right quality tools to solve their unique problems. Participants will
take away with them key concepts and practical advice on how to select the
right quality tools for executing improvement initiatives.

*Featured Speaker: Linda Tomasi, Principal Consultant, Golden Compass Inc.*

Ms. Tomasi has over twenty years of diverse experience in the practical
implementation of Quality, Regulatory Compliance, and Continuous Improvement
approaches that result in tangible progress in organizational
objectives. Linda
has worked with both large and small companies including AT&T, ABB, and
Pfizer, Inc. In addition, she has experience in many industries such as
manufacturing, information technology, nuclear, telecommunications, and
defense. She specializes in helping organizations implement the right
Quality tools to solve their unique problems.

Linda received her Bachelor of Science degree in Research Psychology from
Fairfield University as well as her Master of Science in Organizational
Psychology from Steven's Institute of Technology.
