- Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
- Peter Drucker
American (Austrian-born) management writer (1909 – 2005)
If this is true most health and social care organisations, private voluntary and statutory, are approaching quality from the wrong direction. Ho, hum…..comments please…….
Plenty more where that came from…
