Development Focus
Our QMS strengthens the quality of support that field offices receive from our home office, helping us improve and continually enhance our ability to achieve development results and impact. Drawing from our own experiences in managing change and implementing our ISO 9001-certified QMS, we are better able to advise a wide variety of organizations through our development work on obtaining and maintaining ISO 9001 certification or just building a QMS for their businesses to improve and streamline internal operations.
Transparency and Accountability
We believe in transparency in business practices and accountability for results, whether in our projects or in our internal systems.
Continual Improvement
Our QMS establishes and supports our systematic approach to continual improvement, which is a natural extension of our commitment to excellence. Our quality management experts evaluate processes to improve efficiency, while also encouraging clients, staff and other partners to offer suggestions on ways to improve business processes.
