What Does an ISO Consultant Do?
An ISO consultant is a professional who helps organisations achieve certification for ISO standards. ISO certifications are globally recognised standards that demonstrate an organisation’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement, depending on which standard you achieve.
At Blackmores, we are ISO consultants. We work with organisations to guide them through the process of meeting ISO requirements and implementing internal management systems to ensure they pass and maintain their certification.
What Does an ISO Consultant Do? – Our Process
Working with an ISO consultant isn’t a necessity; you can put yourself forward for auditing and achieve your certification yourself. So, what does an ISO consultant do? We work with ISO standards day in, day out, so we know the best and most efficient processes to help you achieve ISO certification.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Our process begins with an initial consultation where we evaluate your organisation’s current processes and identify any gaps in compliance with ISO standards. This gives us a starting point and allows us to create a plan.
We assign you a dedicated ISO Consultant who will work with your organisation from start to finish.
Creating a Plan
Based on the assessment, we develop a tailored implementation plan that outlines the steps your organisation needs to take to achieve ISO certification. This plan will prioritise actions, establish timelines, and provide guidance on how to address identified gaps.
Provide Training Materials
So that you get the most out of working with our ISO Consultants, we provide access to the isologyhub®, an online learning platform that is full of useful learning resources. You can work through the material at your own pace to understand more about the various ISO standards.
Implementation of Changes
We then move on to helping you implement the necessary changes. We work closely with you and your team to modify or enhance processes and implement an internal management system.
Internal Audits and Documentation
Your dedicated ISO consultant will assist with preparing for your organisation for internal audits. We can ensure that you have all the necessary documentation in place. This step is crucial for demonstrating your organisation’s compliance during the certification audit.
Certification Audit and Ongoing Support
Once your organisation has made the necessary changes, your consultant will support you through the certification audit. They will help ensure that your team is prepared and that all processes are aligned with the ISO standards. After certification, we continue to provide support to help maintain compliance.
Why Use an ISO Consultant?
Achieving ISO certification can be a complex and time-consuming process. Working with an ISO consultant like Blackmores offers several key advantages to organisations.
Expertise and Knowledge – Our ISO consultants bring specialised knowledge of the implementation process and the specific requirements of different ISO standards. This expertise helps ensure that your organisation meets all the necessary standards without missing crucial steps.
Streamlined Process – An ISO consultant can streamline the implementation process, saving your organisation time and effort. Rather than navigating the requirements on your own, our consultants can offer a clear roadmap, ensuring compliance is achieved in an efficient manner.
Tailored Solutions – Every organisation is unique, our ISO consultants tailor their approach to your specific needs. Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, we will assess your current processes, identify areas for improvement, and create a customised plan to help you meet ISO standards.
Who Do ISO Consultants Work With?
At Blackmores, we work with a variety of organisations across different industries, helping them to meet ISO standards relevant to their operations.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) – For SMEs, our dedicated ISO consultants can offer valuable guidance and support in achieving certification.
Large Corporations – For larger businesses, our ISO consultants provide a strategic role working closely with senior management to develop a long-term strategy for ISO certification.
Start-ups and New Ventures – Start-ups can greatly benefit from working with an ISO consultant, especially when it comes to embedding robust systems from the outset. Achieving an ISO certification early in the business’s lifecycle helps to establish credibility and a reputation for quality.
Public Sector Organisations – Public sector organisations, including government departments and non-profits, often need ISO certifications to meet regulatory and legal requirements. An ISO consultant can help these organisations navigate the certification process.
Other Professional Services – We also work with other professional services, such as legal firms, accountants, and healthcare providers, who need to demonstrate compliance with ISO standards as part of their operational protocols.
