Building the Executive Business Case for EQMS According to Pilgrim, quality leaders today are facing new challenges and opportunities presented by changing global markets, disruptive technologies, new regulations, and social media. Their quality management maturity has not increased quickly enough to keep pace, largely due to chronic underinvestment.
