What is it to be NQAThe NQA Way Welcome to nqa
What does NQA mean to you? • What do we represent? • How do you benefit from your relationship with NQA?
The NQA Way Original meaning of NQA • National Quality Assurance Now well over 20 years on, legacy of the name remains, staff and clients alike still refer to National Quality Assurance Why? • Nostalgic • Brand identity has been eroded Conclusion NQA means different thing to different people at different times
The NQA Way July 2001 – NQA – No Questions Asked - Does this mirror a client perception not really knowing what NQA do? July 2005 – NQA – New Quality Awareness - Do our clients really understand the full range of services we offer? July 2008 – NQA - Now Quiet Achiever - Just a certificate quietly sitting on the wall or system that adds value and is a trade facilitator? Today – NQA – Not Quite Aligned
The NQA Way We present ourselves and deliver our services in a variety of ways. Is this culture driven? Or Lack of commonality? How many people make up the family that we call NQA? NQA have 1400+ people work for or on behalf of 2 Joint Ventures and 18 Agents, but do we provide a consistent global service
The NQA Way Traditional client is a small single site but we are finding that more clients have new sites or related companies in territories around the globe Need to work more closely together to share combined talents, skills and contacts of a different parts to provide common global solution
The NQA Way We should be able to be as repeatable and consistent as other well known brands such as McDonalds Coca-Cola
The NQA Way Key to our future success is to work together as a consistent brand and service provider Establish an identity as NQA that can be adopted on a global basis, can be understood and that our clients can identify.
