What can QA or NOS do ?? Are we watching the corporate function ? Have we assigned someone to monitor ? Are we providing oversight of the important ( high risk) decisions ? Are we monitoring the corporate resources including numbers, talent, and proficiency and development Are we independently assessing the corporate oversights role What else should we be doing ????
