Future Forward with ISO 9001: 2026
Thanks to the Organizations i was with, was amongst the earliest Adopters of ISO as a Management System. Despite being long associated, i always wonder about the task & tussle in adherence to the Systems, let alone the visible benefits the Organization reaps from having an ISO Certified Management System. Many a times, i have noticed that Management Systems survive in isolation even with the supposedly strong commitment by the Top Management.
At shop level, People to a considerable extent, have found ISO Management Systems more an interruption than a savior. Due to which, in Majority of the Organizations ISO remains a fad than a realistic Management Tool. Having certified for ISO is widely believed to have its advantages – from Market and Customer perspective, as a Tool to Attract and sometimes, a Tool to Retain.
Personally and Professionally, I have always believed, and ofcourse demonstrated as well, that any System adopted with conviction by the Top Management and promulgated all across the Organization brings in highly desirable results, consistently. Key is the holistic absorption as part of DRMs, and certainly not in parallel. Success of any Management Tool in an Organization, I strongly attribute to Top Down Approach.
