July 29, 2025
Virtual
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CDT

A robust quality culture is no longer a nice to have—it’s a regulatory and operational imperative. Join us for an in-depth exploration of PDA/ANSI Standard 06-2025: Assessment of Quality Culture, a landmark guidance developed to help life science organizations strengthen and assess their internal quality culture.

This webinar will provide a concise overview of the new standard, including its purpose, scope, and structure. You’ll gain actionable insights into why quality culture matters, the critical factors that shape it, and how leadership and organizational enablers drive lasting cultural change. Using real-world scenarios and questions adapted from industry publications, we’ll demonstrate how culture can falter and how this standard offers a practical, proactive tool to assess and improve culture.

Through side-by-side comparisons, you’ll learn how to apply the standard within your own systems and identify areas for improvement using proven models and assessment tools.
