Nigel Croft

Nigel CroftNigel Croft is the convenor of various ISO committees, including TC 176 which authors the ISO 9001 standard. He also participates in the ISO Technical Management Board (TMB).

Within THE AUDITOR universe, Croft is credited as the figure who invented the term “risk-based thinking.” He is shown as always being in a shower; his explanation is that risk studies prove that slipping while stepping out of the shower is the number one cause of home-related deaths, so by never leaving the shower he will thus become immortal.

Croft enjoys warm relations with the figures within ISO, as well as TC 176 and the US TAG 176. He appears to be a close personal friend with the ISO Emperor, who grants him tremendous authoritarian powers. He is a public speaker on the subject of risk-based thinking.

This character is based on a real public figure, and satirized for the purposes of humor and social commentary. The depiction within the strip is not to be construed as based on fact.

Why we report on these topics

Since 2000, Oxebridge has worked to improve ISO and related certification schemes by identifying problems and then proposing solutions. We report on issues affecting standards users because so few other news outlets do. Our belief is that in order to fix the problems in these schemes, we must first understand the nature and breadth of those problems. Our reporting aims to do just that. Elsewhere on the Oxebridge site you will find White Papers and other articles proposing ideas to correct these problems.
