CEO in Services (non-Government)3 months ago

In my previous role and in many (more than 10 organizations) in my current role. A few factors

1- it’s a cultural change “across” the enterprise, not only within the product teams, so requires education (eg the questions and exec sponsor ask a product owner / team are different to the questions you ask a traditional Project Manager).
2- CFO needs to understand how value driven funding works vs traditional funding, this is to me the largest speed bump and cause for product organizations to fail …
3- Product Owner is a role to be understood and learned, and empowered plus must have access to real client feedback, otherwise it does not represent real client needs or priorities.
4- technology teams need the processes, dev/ops, CI/CD, tools to action on customer feedback at a good pace … that investment is an enabler, do not duel in ROI, cannot drive a car fast w/o tires.

Given the various methods and approaches that are possible, what really are the key quality management practices to promote and emphasize within an organization? I recognize that many companies view quality assurance as being synonymous with testing. While I recognize the need for testing, I also recognize the value of quality assurance methods and quality management. It seems as if we are resorting to and focusing on more and more testing. So, again, what really are the key quality management practices to promote and emphasize within an organization?
