On Beauty: Redefining Progress and Sustainability Through Quality.

European Organization for Quality (EOQ)

Quality can be defined as an economic characteristic, as fitness for use. Though partly true, it is not how most people experience quality.

In quality management we have defined quality as an economic characteristic, as fitness for use. Though partly true, it is not how most people experience quality. In this presentation we will show that quality is a complex mix of different aspects but first and foremost a feeling. That makes it important to think beyond technical and economic factors, and to be attentive to the beauty of a design or the quality of human interactions.

Stepping out of our organizational box, quality can be of crucial value in preserving our biosphere. We tend to underestimate the power of our knowledge. By putting quality above quantity we can redefine progress and sustainability and create a better world for all living things. A vital necessity because we simply cannot afford to lose all that natural beauty!
