(HGI: Orlando, FL) -- Harrington Group International (HGI), in partnership with Darwin Ecosystem (an IBM Watson partner) and the University of Central Florida’s International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research (ICAMR), has started the Global Foundations of Quality Survey and research initiative.

HGI is a global leader in providing proven software and professional services for business process improvement and quality management. The 2017 Global Foundations of Quality Survey will target CEOs, COOs, and other C-suite and top-level executives. The survey will employ the latest in cognitive computing and analysis with the help of Darwin Ecosystem’s proprietary Projected Personality Interpreter (PPI) and IBM Watson. For the first time, HGI will harness the power of Watson and the PPI to develop an “executive quality management personality.”

Cognitive computing and predictive analytics will become standard tools for companies that want to influence the future. Quality management has long been a cornerstone of that pursuit. HGI believes that bringing big data analytics and quality management together as one is the best method for C-suite executives to gauge their own performance and attitudes against their counterparts.
