Creating a Productive and Efficient Grower <> QAP Relationship
About the Webinar
The world of legal recreational cannabis and its corresponding regulations are quite new. For better or for worse, different parts of the regulations can be interpreted and implemented in a large variety of manners. This has led to countless approaches that different facilities undertake in order to produce both cannabis products and the many records required for compliance.
In most cultivation facilities, there is a QAP (or team of QAPs) that is generally responsible for ensuring that the operation is compliant; they ensure that records are generated, reports are created and submitted on time, that SOPs are adhered to, and more. The grow team, on the other hand, is often comprised of individuals that just want to grow the best cannabis possible without being burdened by anything else. The relationships between QAPs and growers are crucial, as many (if not most) of the compliance requirements that a QAP is responsible for are ultimately carried out by the growers. Accordingly, it's critical to have a really productive and efficient relationship and/or system in place to ensure that everybody is making the best use of their skills and that nobody is wasting their time.
In this webinar, we will start off by sharing a few different ideas for how such a relationship/system might be structured. The bulk of the session, however, will be an open discussion with you, the audience! We want you to bring forth challenges that you've faced at your operations, or scenarios that you are concerned about. We want to hear about processes that you have implemented that have solved different challenges and made a big difference for your team. Throughout the hour that we have together, many different possibilities will be shared from a large variety of sources - from which we hope you'll find inspiration to tackle challenges that you may face at your operation.
