Key Quote: 

“I'd want my billboard to say: “Digital quality, you can do it.”  Big things like this, big transformations that impact so much of the organization, they can be daunting, but we've seen plans make substantial progress that are clearly going to do very well. It can be done. Every quality team has it in them to guide this transformation and derive benefit. Just start now and have the confidence that you're able to do it, that there are a lot of resources that help you.”
