In this episode, Andy Cleff and Mike Caddell chat with guest Soren Pedersen about the drivers of quality.
If organizations are to be successful at creating high-quality products they need the right kind of management commitment, organization-wide communication, safety, and transparency.
In short - they need more than “the right” framework, they need the right kind of attitude.
