"I have never been on a site visit where participants have not seen or learnt something new that has been of value to them. I often hear some of our most skilled associates comment, they need to see different sites to properly challenge their thinking. As a host, it is terrific to have the input from a fresh set of eyes on a situation that we live everyday."

"Thanks for inviting me along to the event at Priestley's Gourmet Delights. The Quality Forum was really insightful and it was great to interact with Quality professionals from multiple industries. My biggest insight was that culture drives performance no matter what the industry. We all experienced similar issues whether we made food, car parts or medicinal products."

Thoroughly enjoyed discussing CI with people across several industries. Walked away from the session with some great practical ideas that would definitely improve how we operate today. I will definitely be coming back and attending future sessions, thanks Best Practice for organising a great event.

The visit to EGR was a real eye opener! To have a manufacturer competing on the global stage based in Brisbane, is outstanding. The way they have adopted operational excellence, is a testament to their leadership and engagement with their team. A great event that will stay with me.

"The need to plan for visible management systems both in content and in placement – the value is in making them an integral part of work conversations.
