Now is truly an exciting time in the United States of America. Our new President’s focus on diversity gives this country the steppingstone to significant cultural change. It is amazing that with so much focus on diversity for so long, in so many ways, that the US has not progressed faster or more substantially. In the corporate world, many Diversity, Equality & Inclusion officers have been appointed, yet substantive cultural change has not happened. But the numbers game that DE&I has been turned into, has been won, however this is not the true or anticipated sign of success. Obtaining a true diverse culture is the focus of improvement for QA Consultants (QAC) in helping our clients.
We at QAC, are focusing on diversity infusion into technology transformation programs. This is a very opportune time; many companies are beginning their digital journeys. This means that they must have an upskilling program for their technology organizations. Once you need to upskill/augment your staff, this is the perfect point where diversity can be injected into a technology organization.
QAC has developed a new service to help our clients, perform skills assessment, upskilling their workforce and then, updating Quality Assurance (QA) to Quality Engineering (QE). To address this new sector, QAC has created a new North American practice titled the Quality Engineering Transformation (QET) Practice. We believe this practice will be disrupting the QE Space.
QAC is also dedicated to giving women a strong voice in the technology sector. We have sponsored and participated in multiple panels over the past year. We have given women a voice and a channel for mentor and sponsorship. Many women are so impressive, have a great story and need a caring forum for their stories. And this is a global forum. QAC is intent on changing the world.
