As the first step in achieving what we’ve come to call Compliance Excellence, JDQ’s innovative JUMP!Start Appreciative Gap Audit provides the essential employee feedback you need to evolve your quality practices.

Traditional audits are often an exposé of everything that’s wrong with a company. As such, they can be viewed by those responsible for business processes as a “necessary evil” and a disruption to work.

JDQ’s JUMP!Start Appreciative Gap Audit adds value to internal quality audits by leading your internal quality team in an innovative new method of process-based audits. JDQ has discovered a new way to combine the best of Appreciative Inquiry and Internal Quality Audit expertise in an environment of collaborative discovery.

Instead of looking for what’s wrong, what’s the cause of failure and who’s to blame, we ask a whole new set of questions based on an appreciation of the positive:

• What’s working well?
• Where has there been noticeable improvement?
• How has this come about?
• Who has developed and supported these initiatives?
• How have these positive changes been encouraged and celebrated?
• How have these successes been used to motivate further positive change?
• How can we improve and accelerate this successful evolution?

This innovative process creates a value-added experience that encourages the workforce by building solutions based on the fundamental truth that in every company, department or project, something works. A JDQ JUMP!Start Appreciative Gap Auditor helps reveal and enhance what’s right and correct or discard what’s not.
