  8. There is no such thing as objective quality

  9. How to learn from self-assessment • Read the quality standard • Understand the quality standard • Ask Questions • DO NOT fill it in • Discuss it – with all stakeholders in the institution • How do we meet the standard? • What can we do better? • Does it apply in all areas? • Discuss it some more – do some implementation • Have you internalised standard? • Now fill in the questionnaire

  10. A look at the Quality Cycle CHECK should be read as STUDYin English Check implies ‚to hold back‘ (Deming, 1980)

  20. What to do with the report • Read the report • Understand the report • Ask Questions • Discuss it – with all stakeholders in the institution • What did we miss in our Self-Assessment? • Have our assumptions been confirmed or refuted? • How can we do it better • Discuss it some more – do some implementation • Have you internalised the recommendations? • Now start the cycle again.
