Raine Isaksson has a PhD in quality management from Luleå Technical University in Sweden. He has a background as chemical engineer with some 20 years of industrial practise working within the cement industry in various countries including 9 years in different African countries. Since 2002, Raine works both as lecturer in Gotland University and as process consultant. His research interest focuses broadly on how to make improvement more effective and efficient. More specifically this work focuses on synergies between quality management and sustainable development. The working hypothesis is that many of the values, methodologies and tools in quality management should also be included in work for increased sustainability. Particular focus in this research is on the value of “focus on processes” and the practical applications of it in the form of system based process models and measurement templates. A new interest is in looking at how to integrate leadership and quality management. Raine is a frequent visitor of conferences dealing with improvement and has written more than 30 papers consisting of conference presentations and published articles.
