Practical Implementation of ISO 9001:2015’s “Context of the Organization”
This half-day program will provide a practical, step-by-step method of implementing the new “context of the organization” (COTO) requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
The ISO 9001:2015 standard adopts a less prescriptive tone, but as a result some of its requirements are not easily understood, making implementation difficult. This workshop will provide clear, real-world guidance on how to implement define stakeholders, their interests, and then identify risk in a manner that is flexible and effective, and goes beyond just using FMEA as the go-to risk tool, nor invoking full blown “risk management.”
• Step One: The “COTO Exercise” – defining the context of the organization: interested parties, issues of concern, and scoping of the QMS
• Step Two: Re-Examining the Process Approach – ensuring your processes are well defined
• Step Three: Defining Risk and Opportunity – applying your own tailored definitions and interpretations of the terms
• Step Four: Practical Risk Based Thinking – putting it all together so that risks and opportunities are defined and acted upon, using the best tools and methods for each particular context.

The Path Forward: The Amazing Future of ISO 9001
The result of 15 years of work to improve ISO 9001, the “Path Forward” presents the final 10-year plan to dramatically alter the ISO 9001 certification scheme, and standards development process, to benefit standards end users. In the discussion, Mr. Paris presents damning evidence of certification body malpractice, accreditation body collusion, auditor incompetence and even illegal activities by the various stakeholders. Furthermore, Mr. Paris argues that ISO’s standards development activities have deviated so far from their original mandate, they now violate WTO regulations, and may well result in ISO being sanctioned for impeding global trade. Not just a litany of bad news, the 90-minute talk concludes with a series of concrete actions that the various stakeholders can take right now to improve their activities for the benefit of standards users.

Six Sense Auditing: How to Conduct Perfect Audits Using All Six Senses
Certification Body auditors rely almost primarily on only one sense — sight — when collecting evidence during QMS assessments. In this discussion, Mr. Paris shows how auditors can use all six senses — yes, six! — when auditing in order to root out evidence, create and follow excellent audit trails, and ensure the results of audits provide concrete assistance to the client organization.

Intended audience: certification bodies, accreditation bodies (all standards).
