Speakers: Bjørn Zakarias Ekelund and Oyvind Lund Martinsen

Moderator: Brian Redmond

The Task, People, and Change model of Leadership coined by Gary Yukl has been a central model in both presenters' innovative work. Bjørn Z. Ekelund has used this model to map individual differences related to cognitive style and communication differences. A psychological assessment was developed more than 25 years ago, naming the three styles Red, Blue and Green. A seminar concept where participants socially construct the meaning of the Red, Blue, and Green evolved. And, this assessment has been used by ½ mill people in more than 75 countries. This concept of Red, Blue, and Green stresses complementarity, equality, positivity, and trust. There are no power differences highlighted. Oyvind Lund Martinsen has used this Task, People, and Change model as the basis for a 360-degree feedback tool, a concept where leadership is clarified and made distinct from management. It reflects a strategic model where all organizations’ needs to adapt, produce, and benefit from human resources to perform optimally. In his research, he focused on the scientific support for the model and investigated leaders’ self-insight. He found low correspondence between leaders’ self-assessment and subordinates' assessment, which emphasizes the need to strengthen leaders’ reflection, development, and performance in leadership development. Both concepts highlight communication between people in different positions, shared understanding through dialogue, and collective reflexivity. What is the epistemological grounding for this practice? Both measures and concepts evolve inside Norway. Are there cultural qualities that make it challenging to use this communicative practice outside Norway?

Quality management systems (QMS) have historically been document- and event-driven, focused mainly on document management functions. Today's QMS solutions are changing in response to efforts to digitize manufacturing across industry sectors, including pharma. With 72% percent of life science manufacturing companies still reporting that a significant amount of their quality data is still in paper or flat file form, it’s clear more work still needs to be done industrywide to move closer to fully digitizing relevant data. In response, QMS providers are working to make their applications more data-focused than document-focused.

Key Takeaways

QMS plays a critical role in enabling review by exception (RBE) for pharma manufacturers. To achieve the aspirations of data-centricity and RBE, three capabilities are essential:

1. "System of Systems" interoperability to other enterprise systems and data sources that contain critical elements of the electronic batch record (EBR).

2. Access to or embedded Advanced Industrial Analytics capabilities across QMS and EBR for improved visibility into operational status, to enable automatic release, and more.

3. Enhanced configurability across manufacturing and quality departments that empowers them with increased flexibility and agility.

The QMS market is growing, and leading-edge providers are moving toward enabling RBE, enhanced visibility, and increased flexibility through their applications. A future where RBE is more the rule than the exception makes pharma manufacturers more agile and efficient, a necessary shift in today's economy.

Suppliers face increasing pressure from customers today to maintain more and more certifications to various new and existing standards. This not only increases complexity but can add to resource and documentation costs, not to mention adding multiple required audits throughout the year. Migrating to an Integrated Management System is the smart way to integrate processes and simultaneously mitigate risk while gaining efficiency improvements through integrated risks and audits.

Product Development and manufacturing have evolved through changes in standards, changes in customer requirements, increased product complexity, changes to a remote workforce, highly distributed global supply chains, and various compliance requirements. However, using a digitalized platform can help most organizations unify and simplify their Quality Process. Death by Excel, email, and standalone silo systems is a common scenario. Omnex's EwQIMS® (Integrated Management System) can help digitalize your Business and Quality Processes to ensure effective collaboration, create online process maps, scale, improve decision-making, and "Data" the new electricity to fuel prediction and analysis.

Join this webinar to learn more about our comprehensive EwQIMS® Platform and how it can help your organization to digitalize and integrate your requirements and processes into a single tool providing tremendous savings and efficiency for the organization.

The business world is evolving at lightning speed, fueled by cutting-edge technology and AI integration. To truly thrive, standing out and satisfying customers demands a holistic approach. Enter Total Quality Management (TQM), a concept as valid today as it was in the mid 80s when it was introduced.

Back in the day, management was thought to merely oversee quality. TQM changed that game. It's a cross-industry philosophy zeroed in on customer satisfaction and continual improvement. TQM embeds quality into operations, involving every team member in the pursuit of excellence. Key principles? Think leadership commitment, employee involvement, data-driven decisions and relentless progress. 

This webinar will focus on TQM’s core principles reshaping organizational operations. We’ll dive deep into quality planning, control, improvement, staff training, and customer feedback, unveiling benefits like cost reduction and turbocharged customer satisfaction. 

Yet, implementing TQM isn’t easy. We'll conquer challenges—breaking resistance, optimizing resources, defining key metrics, and igniting that crucial cultural shift. 

Key Takeaways:  

• Understanding the principles of TQM

• Obstacles putting TQM into practice 

• Creating a TQM culture

• A roadmap for operational excellence and continuous improvement

An Innovation in Action Series

Description: Many think that creativity is some kind of magic but in truth we all possess creativity. The challenge is ‘how do we unleash it?’ Contrary to popular belief creativity has a framework although that framework is quite loose. Creativity needs an initial stimulant, but the results of creativity will be wide and diverse and need to be narrowed down to working solutions.

Learning Objectives: 

• How Creativity is initiated

• Primary attributes of creative people

• How to develop creative attributes in yourself
