Seminar
Henning Rudewig
Background and Topics
Digitalization, artificial intelligence, process management, key performance indicators, governance, and organizational development are currently shaping many discussions at universities.
Amid all these new topics, it’s worth taking a look back from time to time. After all, many current challenges are surprisingly closely linked to some fundamental principles of effective organizations.
For many years, the seven principles of quality management have been among the essential foundations of successful organizations. Their significance extends far beyond quality management. Especially when it comes to issues of university governance, digitalization, collaboration, and organizational development, it becomes clear time and again just how relevant these principles remain.
Whether from the office, your balcony at home, or your vacation spot—this webinar invites you to take a summer break to reflect on the seven principles of quality management.
Objective
The webinar demonstrates how the seven principles of quality management provide guidance for current challenges in higher education institutions and why they remain as relevant today as ever. The focus is on the significance of these principles for leadership, collaboration, processes, digitalization, and the organizational capacity of universities, as well as how they can help better contextualize current challenges.
Target Audience
The event is aimed at leaders and staff at universities and academic institutions who work in the areas of quality management, process management, digitalization, governance, or organizational development.
