Estonian Association for Quality (EAQ) celebrates its 30th anniversary with annual international management conference REBOOT. Last year has been unpredictable and disrupting at all levels. It has demanded agility and adaptation, noticing threats and opportunities, creating and implementing innovative survival strategies – rebooting several enterprises.

How to cope successfully as a society, organization, individual? How to make transformation and change happen while maintaining high quality and outstanding performance? How best practices in excellence and quality management integrated with innovation and technology can help? How to act in a sustainable and responsible way? What kind of leadership is suitable for the new world? We are looking for answers to these questions during the conference together with presenters, as well as sharing good practices and recognizing the best.

Keynote speaker Robin Lincoln Wood in his presentation Re-boot, Re-generate, Re-naissance pulls all these topics together, followed by a practical Zoom workshop Creating Sustainable Value with True Impact on 27th of January. New EOQ Secretary General Ulf Gustavsson talks about digital transformation of EOQ and the role and meaning of Quality in the changing world.
