MYSELF
AS A QUALITY EXPERT
Juhani Anttila
Academician (IAQ)
Venture Knowledgist, Quality Integration
Quality issues are always based on personal conceptions and
feelings. Even quality leadership represents and requires always
opinions. And this is how it should be! Very relevant are the opinions
of company leaders and other influential persons at the national
level, because those opinions have the best possibilities to be
realized. And person's own developmental foundations and awareness
have a strong impact on his / her understanding and behavior regarding
quality at the present time, and that correspondingly influence
on the decisions and actions to enter the future. Quality issues
are not objective, not even at a meta-level.
On these web pages of Quality Integration I have presented my insights,
beliefs, and ideas on quality integration. That is based on my experiences
from my own work history and cooperation with a lot of significant
people and organizations world-widely. On this particular page you may find some information
on me for this context.

I have served as an expert of telecommunications and quality / reliability
in many national and international projects including some developing
countries. 1990-94 I was the chairman of the criteria committee
of the Finnish National Quality Award, and in 1993 Assessor of the

covering the following actual topics:
1. Quality of strategic management in different kinds of organizations
2. Quality management in networked environments (e-business)
3. Quality management and tacit knowledge, e.g. collaborative organizational
learning ("e-learning")

clusters of organizations
5. Information security management
6. Management of business crises
7. Innovation management
8. Education management
Additionally I have also worked with more traditional QM and QA questions.

(*) " In the venture survey ... many ... reported
they had considered raising "knowledge investment" -
not mere capital investment. ... We might call these knowledge
investors "knowledgists" as opposed to capital
investors or capitalists. ... The ones who had successfully
raised "knowledge investment" from fellow-entrepeneurs
had following arguments:
- "They invest brains and experience, the value of which is
hard to evaluate in dollar terms."
- "Money - per se - is less meaningful than knowledge on how
to spend it."
- "Contacts and doors opened shape a firm's future more than
mere dollars on the balance sheet.
... While (monetary) capital has no personality, knowledge comes
"attached to such a thing." "
(Ref.: M Seppä, T Rasila: The
V2C phenomenon: Pushing ventures to capital, e-Business research
forum eBRF, Tampere 2001)
It is, in general, natural that
a venture knowledgist appreciates free
and open contents of information in expert communications.
