|  | Towards a global cyber institute – Part 
        1.By Allan J. Sayle, President Allan Sayle 
        Associates
 If done properly, setting up a global institute based in 
        cyberspace will propel forward the quality profession and provide a superior 
        service than the BAMs. Better value for money for members, employers and 
        clients global reach and participation. It can offer truly international 
        credentials and credibility for the members. Only a few key pieces remain 
        to be put in place and it could be running in a matter of weeks. It is the way to go. And the time has come to do it. Allan J. Sayle,
 President

              President Allan Sayle Associates | Allan J. Sayle has published numerous articles and 
            delivered major speeches around the world in his 35 years experience. 
            His book "Management Audits", ISBN 0951173901, now in its 
            3rd edition was first written in 1978 and is acknowledged as the "classic" 
            and "definitive" text on that subject. Sayle is also acknowledged 
            as the originator of the "Process Approach" (or "Task 
            Element" approach) to auditing and quality programs, a method 
            he developed in the early 1970s and which is now the de facto approach 
            used around the world: the process approach is now at the heart of 
            ISO 9001:2000. He is a pioneer of value-added audits. Allan Sayle's 
            seminal work in Quality Management has influenced every practising 
            quality professional. More information is available at his web site
