Published: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 12:00 During this past Friday’s episode of QDL, we presented two great interviews, both revolving around standards and certification, plus a piece about analytics, and a lively off-script about the responsibilities of media companies like Facebook when it comes to protecting user data. Here’s a closer look at what we discussed: Interview with Scott Paton of Exemplar Global Data, information, and analytics are not the same thing; in this piece, we discussed what organizations can do to convert the data they’re gathering into information that makes sense and, ultimately, analytics that they can use to move the needle. Communicating how best to interpret and use those analytics for everyone in the organization is key to success. “First ISO Health and Safety Management System Standard Is Released” In this interview with Chad Kymal of Omnex Inc., we discussed the importance of the brand-new ISO 45001 standard for occupational safety and health. Off-Script: Facebook and Privacy Facebook is facing heat for its loosey-goosey policies regarding the protection of customers’ private data. In this week’s Off-Script segment, Dirk asked what this means for media companies, and whether users care (or, mostly, even notice).

Quality Digest does not charge readers for its content. We believe that industry news is important for you to do your job, and Quality Digest supports businesses of all types. However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in. Most people consider ads a nuisance, but they do serve a useful function besides allowing media companies to stay afloat. They keep you aware of new products and services relevant to your industry. All ads in Quality Digest apply directly to products and services that most of our readers need. You won’t see automobile or health supplement ads. So please consider turning off your ad blocker for our site. Thanks, Mike Richman is the principal at Richman Business Media Consulting.Inside Quality Digest Live for April 6, 2018
Auditing, analytics, ISO 45001, and privacy
We were joined in the studio by Scott Paton, business development manager of Exemplar Global and former Quality Digest publisher. In this wide-ranging discussion, we covered what users think of recent changes to standards certification, the qualities of a good auditor, and Exemplar Global’s upcoming International Auditor Symposium event.
Our PROMISE: Quality Digest only displays static ads that never overlay or cover up content. They never get in your way. They are there for you to read, or not.
