“We've always done it this way.”
A sentence that sounds like a friendly stop sign in the world of Product Compliance.
At a time when regulations are evolving faster than many product life cycles, this phrase is not only a mistake in thinking, but also a risk. Tried-and-tested routines can be valuable, but they should never replace testing processes. Compliance thrives on timeliness, transparency and a willingness to question the status quo.
My daily business shows me that the most successful companies are not those that have always done everything the same way, but those that understand standards, observe developments and are courageous enough to adapt processes before the market or the authorities do.
Curiosity protects. Routine does not.
