ISO management systems are used by millions of companies across the world and are revered by large corporations and small firms alike. The only problem with them is that they are seriously underused, mainly because of all of the unnecessary bureaucracy, costs and generally poor implementation which have become associated with the certification of them.
But this does not have to be the case. If done correctly it can be, simply put, the most effective way of improving your business. In this book we look at how they put you on the road to continuous and genuine business improvement and innovation, and how you can implement them without breaking the bank. The standards we consider are: - ISO 9001:2015 (quality) - ISO 14001:2015 (environment) - ISO 45001:2018 (health and safety) - ISO 27001:2013 (information security) |

We cover how you can take up the offer of a totally free Gap Analysis which was originally offered to companies at a price of £450+VAT.
We also look at a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) tool to address the main areas of installing an ISO management system, including becoming certified. The idea is you can see the overall costs and compare these with the overall benefits, in the context of both one-off and ongoing costs and benefits, and how ISOs might benefit you (or not) in the long term. |
Running a business along ISO management system lines means you’re looking for improvement by involving a whole range of stakeholders, from every employee to your clients, customers, suppliers and any other key person or group you’ve identified. You’re always after their views; you’re always gathering market information; you’re a very ‘switched on’ company. You marshal your resources in a way which makes you able to look for improvement and innovation at every level.
The structure of this book is designed to firstly give you an overview of ISOs and how they work as management systems; then deep-dive into how they operate (admittedly quite technical and dry, so you might want to just speed-read that bit); then how they contribute to business improvement and innovation.
It's all about trying to improve your business, whether it be from a quality, environmental, health & safety and/or information security point of view. This is about making your business better, and making it more innovative regardless of which discipline you’re looking at.
