General ISO resources for business case development and stakeholder engagement

  2. Quality management principles

  3. ISO 9001- What does it mean in the supply chain

  4. Expected outcomes for accredited certification such as 9001 and 14001

Business case and roadmap to certification

Typically, our roadmaps to achieve certification are designed in four phases around the following activities and outcomes: 1) Scoping & mobilisation 2) Awareness & knowledge transfer 3) Workshops & implementation 4) third-party assessment & certification. At this stage, to keep things simple, we can illustrate the above in a concise one-page document.

Accredited certification body cost comparison tool

This tool will help will you compare, forecast and budget for stage 1 and 2 audits along with the first three-year certification cycle costs.

Gap analysis and reporting tool

This is an extract of the gap analysis tool we would use to support you with your implementation, is also acts as a reporting tool and is designed to be adapted for supporting other elements of the implementation.

Project plan (process approach)

This forms part of our comprehensive project controls, essentially a Gantt chart using the best practice: risk-based thinking, plan-do check-act and the process approach.

Management system roles and responsibilities matrix

This type of matrix will help with your resource and capacity planning needed to implement and maintain your management system once certified, along with deciding what support you need from an ISO Lead Auditor, if applicable.
