Lots of organizations use lots of metrics, but not always well. In my Quality career, I have seen many metrics and dashboards. Few, however, provide truly useful insights. A few years ago, I began to see too many “stoplight” dashboards and developed this presentation to discuss better ways to use and present data. First presented at the ASQ World Congress in Pittsburgh in 2012 (and revised several times since), this presentation covers common mistakes people make when displaying data, and how to do it better. The underlying information is based on the latest ergonomic science on how our brains process visual information.

ISO 9001 is evolving to ensure quality management systems remain aligned with today’s rapidly changing business environment. This session explores the anticipated changes in the 2026 revision and what they may mean for organizations currently certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Key themes shaping the revision will be discussed, including emerging technologies and digitalization, opportunity-based thinking, and an increased focus on quality culture and ethical behavior. Participants will gain insight into how these changes may influence quality management practices and what actions quality professionals and leaders should begin considering to prepare their organizations for the transition.
