Why having a job as a Quality Professional is a Challenge
Why this is so important for you
Here are some of the typical situations you might recognize in your job:
- An incessant stream of issues prevents you from learning in a structural manner.
- Issues that require you to spend valuable time and energy to find the answer only to discover there is no real training program to help you solve the issue, so you have to do it yourself.
- You feel like you have to train and retrain shop floor workers and yet they still don't follow rules and procedures that keep you safe.
- You can't find the right training programs for the knowledge you'd like to have - Or, the training you do find is so basic that it doesn't really help you grow.
- You need an action plan and process that you can implement that will help you improve the organization today.
- The training you followed only provides you insights in the WHY and WHAT, it didn't provide you the information to understand HOW.
- You are under more pressure than ever to do more with less and to bring your team up to speed fast in a rapidly changing workforce.
All of this on top of all of the other challenges you have to manage daily....
... the question is: HOW? How do you get the best training for you - that helps you to be successful and get the results you want in your job and not just more knowledge?
The answer is the QFS Mastery Program. It's how you get predictable results from industry experts to power your results. It's HOW the best companies succeed.

Let me give you an example. We know as a quality professional you are facing issues that you didn't expect. You probably have topics you would like to learn more of. So, you started with the Mastery Module on Risk Analysis. You are almost half way with the Mastery Module. Then you got an external audit. Unfortunately you received during this external audit a major on your Allergen Program. You need to focus on your major and don't have the time to go further with your Mastery Module Risk Analysis. Don't worry, as a member of the QFS Mastery Program you have access to 12 Mastery Modules. When you received the major on your Allergen Management Program, start immediately with following the Mastery Module Allergen Management. Hop on the monthly Open Office Hours if you need coaching and solve your major as soon as possible.

Kitty has personally experienced that some managers like to keep their employees “small” and do not want to invest in knowledge or help in overcoming hurdles. All too often, these managers cause their employees to become stressed. As an interim QA manager, Kitty has regularly been able to guide “damaged” teams to work confidently on food safety again, to believe in their capabilities and to stand up for themselves. Kitty enjoys guiding quality professionals and watching them grow as a person and as a balanced and experienced quality professional.
