Why Would You Want This Certification? ISO Is Changing!
Thirty years and 5 updates later, ISO 9001:2015 has become the most prevalent ISO Standard on the planet. But is your organization reaping the benefits of being certified to it? The current version in its ‘High Level Structure’ has evolved into an excellent framework for managing business processes, but many organizations are not aware of the value that can be realized from application of the requirements in these Standards.
ISO has changed into a more risk-based, process focused model that can bring many benefits to any kind of organization – Private, Public Service and not-for-profits can all benefit.
If You Could Improve Operations in Your Organization…
…could it help your career? Could it raise your status in your organization? By implementing the ISO Standards we’ve put together in this Certification Program, you’ll become more valuable to your organization and any other organization that you may be interested in working with. These Standards are universally suited to improving the effectiveness of any management system and the program works equally well across all certified management systems. It’s particularly valuable for Integrated Systems.
By adding these skillsets, you will be much better prepared for the next phase of your career!
The Management Systems Professional certification will…
- Provide quality employees with ISO standards-based skills and perspectives that will help them guide their organizations into new, more future-aligned approaches such as wider stakeholder bases, more sustainable operations, more risk and probability-based decision making and an expanded use of ISO Standards.
- Equip quality employees with the tools to help internally market the value and positive impact of this more advanced and integrated systems approach to managing.
- Give quality employees an expanded career potential in terms of organizational influence, compensation, and occupational demand.
- Offer a curriculum consisting of Standards that are internationally recognized and used. This makes the learning you’ll get universal and portable.
