ISO9001 GAP ANALYSIS
Are you looking Better systems or certification to ISO9001? Wondering what it will take?
What if you could get an insight into exactly what was needed in a clear project plan that you could follow? If this sounds good then why not get some advice from a chartered quality professional and ISO9001 lead auditor? We can translate the standard into easy to understand requirements leaving you in no doubt what you need to do to pass the audit.
Chances are you are already doing a lot of the requirements but need to ensure that your evidence reflects this. Our aim is to be the trusted individual that you open up your doors to and be involved in your success story by going on the journey to certification with you as a mentor.
Our clients tell us how beneficial the journey of process mapping and designing their Quality Management System is, even if they don’t want to gain a certificate. They reduce risk and duplication and gain more confidence in the delivery of their product or service. We have seen added benefits in company culture and delegation too with the right implementation process and involvement of the team from the start of the journey.
Our audit package is aimed differently as we get to know your people and culture first looking at their needs as well as business and customer needs. The company procedures, documentation, mission and objectives will all be mapped at the start of the journey.
This may sound like a very big picture to digest but open’s up many opportunities. Your system will just reflect what you do and fit in with your business, not be a generic add on with high maintenance required. When a system is designed well it will be agile and flexible to grow with you instead of adding barriers. We believe structure is essential for growth.
“It is easy to steer and instruct a tug boat crew but what happens when your vessel has become a cruise ship? It takes many people and great well timed communication to steer a cruise ship.”
Having a good system will take the guess work out of running the business. If you take away anything from this page then ask your self these questions:
- What are your company objectives?
- Do these objectives fit into the company vision for the future?
- Do your processes match the vision and are they efficient?
- Do you understand the context and complexity of your business?
- Does everyone know about these objectives throughout the company and see the same vision?
- Do employees understand where they fit into the big picture, what does it mean to them?
- Do employees know the value of what they contribute to the company? Do they understand the consequences of not doing their job?
- Do you have mechanisms in place within the business that confirm customer critical activities have been done and the customer delighted?
“If you want to grab a virtual coffee and discuss any of these points just reach out, my passion is to get you where you need to be to achieve your vision for the future.”

We are in the process of implementing ISO9001:2015 for the first time. We wanted the process to add value to our business; not just be a ‘badge chasing’ process. Angela understood this and has been an invaluable help to us. Angela conducted a gap analysis and produced a detailed action plan which helped us make sense of how to use the standard to implement an efficient and effective QMS. We’ve subsequently worked hard on this, and Angela must share much of the credit for ensuring that our Stage 1 Audit was very successful. We can now move forward with confidence to the Stage 2 audit and accreditation.
