CQI corporate membership can help you to develop the right quality strategy, teams and systems, and to embed quality management into your organisation to deliver your objectives. We support our member companies to use quality management for good governance, agile assurance and a culture of continual improvement. Doing this has enhanced their performance and response to stakeholder needs. Our Competency Framework, which defines these standards, is a useful tool for quality professionals working in member companies. It sets out the abilities and types of behaviour they need to be successful and is a good guide for organisations that need to develop their people further. Join us to celebrate quality. Our International Quality Awards are the perfect opportunity for your organisation, team or individual employees to apply and be recognised for their hard-work within the profession. Reach your audience by sponsoring the event hosting the awards ceremony. It will provide you with the opportunity to increase your visibility and promote your brand further within the quality industry.

It's a valuable way of benchmarking with other organisations, which has helped us solve some of our quality related problems and allowed us to assist in solving issues faced by other partners."
