• Forum membership-$29

So what’s in the plan
for next year?
• Start with the calendar
– Repeat events
– New events
• Organize and expand volunteers
• Communication
– Each volunteer should have email distribution of
• ASQ Automotive Division Potential Members
• People within their companies
• Other Contacts
Membership
Expansion-Vision
• Division Liaisons in different arenas;
Liaisons would forward emails of events and
hold Events within their arena
– Team GM

– Team Thailand
– Team ????
Volunteers are how
we do things!!!
• Programs-assigned by events
New programs we want to do

India
Within Company Events
??
• Publications-on editorial team/business team
• Standards content links on website by
commodity type ( such as visual/material
quality requirements)
Some new ideas from
last couple of days
• Webinars/Netmeeting
• Discussion Groups Format
– Copy Structure
• Monthly planning meetings
• ~ Monthly 2 hour Discussion Groups around a topic
(charge $35)
• ½ day or full day seminars
– Essentially what we want to do with Division
liaisons
• Expanded press coverage (Wall Street
Journal)
Hot buttons
• Warranty Reduction
• Healthcare costs
• Jobs/Opportunities
– US
– Around the World
• How to avoid Enron/World Com ie ethics
• People are burned out-need information that
will help them improve their performance in
their bosses view
The essence of what
needs to be done:
• A quote from the book Good to Great by Jim
Collins
• “ Everyone would like to be the best, but
most organizations lack the discipline to
figure out with egoless clarity what they can
be the best at and the will to do whatever it
takes to turn that potential into reality. They
lack the discipline to rinse their cottage
cheese.”
