American Society of Quality Dinner Forum 

Speaker Topic: "Dealing with Changes in QMS – Migrating to ISO 13485:2016 for Medical Devices"

You have just received your site ISO certification. Everyone is happy and then you receive notification that the standards you worked so hard to implement are changing. Now what? With the rollout of IS 13485:2016 many companies are facing this challenge. How do you not only prepare compliance but also manage the change among employees? Using ISO13485:2016 as a case study, we will explore change management as it relates to quality. Even if you are not in the medical device field, there will be useful information related to employee perception of changes, challenges and opportunities of changes, and tips for a successful change rollout.
