To Study the Role of Quality Management System to Improve Effectiveness of Qu...lalikjan
Quality Management System (QMS) is a permanent feature of all renowned universities of the world. Earlier it was perceived that Quality Management is only an area which may be applied in manufacturing and other Engineering sectors of life. However, now this trend has been changed and quality assurance agencies of the world are giving due emphasis to apply QMS in education industry. This cultural change ultimately improves the quality of education and services as well. Higher Education of Pakistan has taken revolutionary steps in this regard and now Quality Assurance program is running in good number of universities of Public and private sectors. As per Higher Education Commission compulsions, all public and private universities of Pakistan are required to establish their Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs). There are multiple challenges, hindrances and reluctant behaviors in the way of QMS. The first and important hurdle is the cultural change and i.e quality culture. Furthermore, the implementation of quality culture may measure and evaluate educational performance of the process, and may be used for the evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. This programme may contribute for credibility and standardization of academic programmes. Different world wide recognized quality parameters like ISO 9001-2008, International Workshop Agreement-2 (IWA-2) certification may be accredited to different university programmes. This will increase the level of motivation, credibility and recognition both for students and the teachers. A thorough study has been conducted in university of Karachi (International Relations Department) Pakistan and existing trends, facts and quality culture parameters are evaluated in this paper.
The role of the coordinator of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior person with expertise in quality aspects. She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic /administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may be facilitated by the administration. It is preferable that the coordinator may have sound knowledge about the computer, its various functions and usage for effective communication.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
