The CQI vision….. • To place quality in the heart of every organisation
Chartered Quality Professional • Summer 2008 • launch of Chartered Quality professional • current member requirements + CPD • existing MCQI and FCQI eligible • May 2009 • approx 70% have converted (4000) • new members are expected to be Chartered
Why CPD? • Brings us ‘on par’ with other Chartered bodies • But not just that – quality is dynamic and needs to be adapt and integrate with the changing environment
CQP – the new competency set • Business strategy • Product development/improvement • Customer focus • Assurance • Integrated management, CSR, HSE, Environment • Business improvement • Problem solving and decision making (root cause analysis) • Management system analysis and design • Supply chain management
CPD – the base requirements • Chartered Quality Professionals are required as a minimum to undertake the following CPD: • identify and plan personal learning objectives for the coming year, • record learning activities and outcomes and • assess the extent to which learning objectives have been achieved • retain records of the above • Visit the CQI website: www.thecqi.org/membership/e13.shtml
CPD – the new approach - 2 • No more CPD points • No minimum hours of CPD. (CQI recommends 25 hours of CPD per year for a member actively engaged in the profession) • Members must take responsibility for their own personal professional development • CPD is about developing yourself to become more valuable to your employer, yourself, your colleagues and your profession. • It is not primarily a tool to police individual chartered members and re-grade those who do not undertake CPD
CPD – the new approach - 3 • Annual CPD objectives should be based on employer, client and your own requirements as well changes in quality practices • The amount of CPD should be proportionate to your professional commitments and CQI recognises that members may be required to undertake other CPD schemes • If members have personal development plans at work these can be used
Access to CPD for members • Written word • Quality World magazine • QW Express • Inform (e-newsletter for auditors) • Online Body of Quality Knowledge • Forum discussions • Events • Special Interest Groups • Branch and region • Access to partner events e.g. British Quality foundation • Access to other institute events
