Innovation and competitiveness are among the main axes that today cross the agenda of the entire production chain, which is also challenged by the ups and downs of the macroeconomic context (local and international) and by the incidence of digital transformation.
It is no coincidence, then, that the Excellence network has chosen these topics to bring to Córdoba a conference that aims to delve into management models oriented towards these objectives, with a focus on small and medium-sized companies.
In the Excellence space, the Business Foundation for Quality and Excellence (Fundece), the Argentine Professional Institute for Quality and Excellence (Ipace) and the National Quality Award Foundation come together and interact.
Its purpose is to stimulate companies, especially the entire SME framework, so that they adopt management systems or models oriented towards change, innovation and continuous improvement, and that this becomes a kind of bridge between the available talent and the results that are sought.
This year, within the framework of its Sharing Excellence program, the network aims to hold events in different provinces, and Córdoba is the first stop.
The activity will take place on Thursday, March 30, starting at 8:00 a.m., in the Yellow Pavilion of the Fair Complex, with an agenda that includes exhibitions, panels, and dynamic practical workshops for managing competitiveness through quality, innovation, and the transformation of companies and organizations.
