Times have changed. Today, a Quality Assurance officer is not just a C-suit title. Traditionally, the role of a quality head revolved around researching and driving best practices by keeping up with new techniques and software tools and, in turn finding new avenues to benefit the current organization. But the responsibilities of a quality assurance department today go well beyond these areas. The reason? Customers today simply don’t settle for a service or a product. They are in the
marketplace to buy over whelming experiences, and quality is at the center of it all. Hence, quality officers today need to be the advocates of end-to-end quality delivery and is responsible for maintaining the competitive advantage.

Thanks to the technology era, over the past few years, the quality of deliverables has emerged as the corner stone of customer experience. Consumers and even businesses have started to look beyond the brand names. Since quality has become a definite growth hacker, the CQOs have emerged as direct contributors to organizational growth. However, they are not left high and dry either. The quality officers can and need to trust technology.

It’s imperative that they evaluate the necessity of automation in the organization, recognize suitable tools that will enhance the quality of deliverables, and even instill the right values and culture in employees. It’s beyond any reasonable doubt that whichever industry you might be in, your organization needs a quality officer, and your rivals are counting on you not having one.
