Chairman's Report 2009

The London South West Branch of the CQI wishes you all the best for a happy, healthy and prosperous future.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

In order to save resources, the London South West Branch meetings arranged for the 2009/2010 season will be communicated solely by email and through this branch website.

South Eastern Region programmes will not be posted this year.

Please ensure you let a member of the committee know of any changes in your email address, to allow us to continue to contact you.

If we cannot contact you because you have changed your email address, you will have to contact us.

==========================================================

Programme for 2009/2010

We would like to request your input regarding speakers and topics for future CQI branch meetings. If you have a particular topic that our branch members would like to hear about or know of a particularly good speaker then please let me know, via email (graemesue@jard.fsworld.co.uk).

For the programme in 2009/2010, we are planning on alternating the venue for Branch Meetings between the Spirit Conference Centre, Slough and Uxbridge College, Uxbridge in order to be convenient to a large proportion of branch members, starting with the first meeting at Uxbridge College in October 2009. If any members have any views on this plan we would be pleased to know your thoughts.

The committee strive to organise a suitable programme to suit the majority of members and it is always useful to have the direct input of members.

==========================================================

 

Please find below a list of Chartered Quality Institute London South West Branch events happening between October 2009 and May 2010.  Please note the venues alternate between the Spirit Conference Centre in Slough and Uxbridge College in Uxbridge in order to be convenient to a large proportion of branch members, starting with the first meeting at Uxbridge College in October 2009, which begins at a slightly earlier time than the meetings in Slough. The meetings are free, a light buffet is provided before the meeting starts and meetings attract CQI CPD certificates, on request.

We welcome members, members of partner institutes and guests. You are welcome to attend any event held by the London South West Branch or any across the whole of the South East Region. We do hope to see you at the first Branch Meeting on 20th October.


If you would like to book for an event or request further details of the topic, speaker or venue please contact the branch secretary, Ron Kumar (kumar111@btinternet.com), or chairperson, Sue Jardine (graemesue@jard.fsworld.co.uk).

Chairperson, Chartered Quality Institute London South West Branch

 

18/05/2010

7.15pm for 7.30pm start



There are No Root Causes Talk
and
London South West Branch AGM

Geoff Oliver, independent quality management consultant and a Fellow of the CQI

Spirit Conference Centre,
Slough SL1 4UT
http://www.spiritconferencing.
co.uk/ccv.html

 

 

This event will be held at Spirit Conference Centre, Slough 7.15pm (for 7.30pm start) Tuesday 18th May.
 

There has been a change from the advertised speaker and topic. Our speaker will be Geoff Oliver and the topic is "There are No Root Causes".

Geoff Oliver is an independent quality management consultant and a Fellow of the CQI. He provides a quality manager sharing service to about 20 clients in the Thames Valley area. The service has been running for over 20 years. Clients that use this service operate in a wide range of business sectors.

One of Geoff’s long standing interests is philosophy; he organises meetings for a group of amateur philosophers and is a member of the Philosophical Society run by Oxford University Department for Continuing Education.

There are No Root Causes: This talk is different from that usually offered at CQI events. There is no attempt here to promote anything. It is not about a quality tool, a standard or the successful implementation of a system. This is much more important; this is a talk about a concept that is fundamental to the quality practitioner. With a little bit of physics and a little bit of philosophy, an attempt will be made to convince the audience that there is no such thing as a root cause.



The meeting is free, a light buffet is provided before the meeting starts and CQI CPD certificates are available, on request. It would greatly assist with catering arrangements if you would let us know if you are planning on attending, please email graemesue@jard.fsworld.co.uk.

We welcome CQI members, members of partner institutes and guests. You are welcome to attend any event held by the London South West Branch or any across the whole of the South East Region. 

If you would like to book for an event or request further details of the topic, speaker or venue please contact the branch secretary, Ron Kumar (kumar111@btinternet.com), or chairperson, Sue Jardine (graemesue@jard.fsworld.co.uk).
