The Directors of Quality and Improvement (DoQI) has recognized the dependency and criticality of enabling, capacitating and empowering governing bodies to achieve the highest state of maturity in terms of their governance of total quality and improvement, so as to enable them to effectively preside over and lead their organizations in all matters of total quality and sustained improvement. This is one of the major gaps which blunts, hampers and retards  the effectiveness of governing bodies and the organizations which they preside over, globally. This gap presents a high, ongoing, systemic and strategic risk to organizations, including all arms of State, and is at the root of many of the catastrophic quality failures in both Business and State organizations world wide.

The DoQI is an international professional body which is focused on developing, qualifying and being the global home of all professionals who occupy or aspire to occupy the role of directorship on the governing body (e.g. boards of directors, legislatures) to focus on the portfolio of Quality and Improvement in all types of organizations and State institutions.

The organization serves as the global platform where the world’s top leadership of Quality and Improvement gather to deliberate, collaborate and consolidate their inputs into the World Quality Forum to shape and steer the role, practice and contribution of the Quality profession towards the global strategic agenda of achieving and assuring quality in all sectors of industry and society by driving total quality maturity.

To this end, the organization collaborates with other stakeholders by pooling its expertise in matters of quality and improvement to effectively participate in the implementation of the joint programmes of the World Quality Forum.

To ensure improved responsiveness and contextual relevance, the DoQI will establish chapters in each country.
