The blend of skills, knowledge and behaviours that define a quality professional are changing rapidly in response to the challenges posed by Industry 4.0.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has always been a key component of professionalism, but now more than ever, quality professionals need a good understanding of their own competence and a plan to meet their development needs.

By the end of the webinar you will:

• Understand some of the key drivers for change that affect quality professionals

• Understand the critical role that CPD plays in professionalism

• Understand the CQI's methodology for planning your CPD

• Understand how to assess your competence using the CQI's free Profession Map

• Understand other tools available to you
