This is Part V of our ongoing series where we look back at some recent editorial graphics that ran alongside Oxebridge posts. See Part I of this series here<\/a>, Part II\u00a0here,<\/a>\u00a0Part III here<\/a>, Part IV here<\/a> and Part V here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

American Society for Dead People<\/strong><\/p>\n

This graphic ran alongside a piece<\/a> discussing how ASQ missed an opportunity to offer supplemental health insurance before the coronavirus pandemic hit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

International Organization for Superspreaders<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be a lot of virus-related editorial images this time around, so strap in. This on was used in an article on ISO’s limited release of free standards during the quarantine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blame the Blamers<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK, this one got a few O-Fans wondering what the heck was going on. In an article<\/a> on how a so-called “root cause expert” came up with a batty, kneejerk root cause for the coronavirus, this one was meant to represent a gross disparity between alleged roots and an actual thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Soylent UKAS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A riff on the “scoops” from Soylent Green<\/em>, this graphic ran alongside an article<\/a> on how UKAS was protecting its staff from coronavirus, while refusing to do so for its certification bodies or their clients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It Rubs the Lotion On Its Body<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plucky ne’er-do-wells at AQI held on to until the last minute to cancel the annual ISO 9000 Conference, as apparently their “risk-based thinking” was telling them that coronavirus would “one day disappear, like a miracle<\/em><\/a>.” this graphic never appeared, though, since the article didn’t run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Risk-Based Sneezing<\/strong><\/p>\n

More coronavirus graphics (I warned you), this one ran alongside a piece<\/a> on how risk-based thinking failed entirely to predict or mitigate the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s An Airplane, What Could Go Wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AS9100 oversight bodies have taken a “meh?” attitude<\/a> towards enforcement of accreditation rules, which is likely to result in aircraft or spacecraft disasters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check Your Bed For Horses<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thuggish posturing<\/a> by a VP at the International Accreditation Service led to this Godfather-themed editorial graphic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Billy Sprinkle, Tramp Extraordinaire<\/strong><\/p>\n

I shared my new obsession — videos of “Grand Theft Auto Roleplay” featuring petty thief Billy Sprinkle, while discussing<\/a> the IAF’s claim that its competitors accreditations are “fake.” Never mind Oxebridge, just go watch the videos on this Twitch stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aww, Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

This next one rang alongside an op-ed<\/a> on ASQ’s latest endeavor, a spinoff company called “ASQExcellence,” which looks a lot like a corporate shell game.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Big Brother is Gaslighting You<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love me some newspeak, so this one was used to illustrate just how weird it was when a TC 176 Chair said that ISO 9001 “doesn’t require inspection.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quality Bullshit<\/strong><\/p>\n

This next graphic was developed for an op-ed called “Where Quality Bullshit Comes From,” but which wasn’t published. Yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Deaf, Dumb and Dumber<\/strong><\/p>\n

The regional accreditation group EA really, really doesn’t want to hear bad news<\/a>, prompting this graphic.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s A Tissue for Your Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

A troll who had been harassing me for years finally revealed his true colors<\/a> as a CQI toady from Kimberly Clark, the Kleenex manufacturer.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Book’Em, Dano<\/strong><\/p>\n

IQNet faces increasing problems as they remain wholly silent<\/a> during the Quality Austria bribery scandal.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stonewalling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, it’s on the nose, but it worked<\/a>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Error 404<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IAF Certsearch database continued to be a clusterfuck of unprecedented proportions as the alleged “sole source of truth” was found<\/a> to have a significant number of erroneous entries and bad data.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coronavirus Quality Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CQI logo got a sneezy update in this article on how it was refusing to cancel in-person conferences despite the huge coronavirus pandemic.\"\"<\/a>Stop, Thief!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A consultant got caught reselling the free Oxebridge ISO 9001 template kit, prompting this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Toxic Spill<\/strong><\/p>\n

My editorial “Why Annex L is Toxic to Industry”<\/a> ran with this one.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

International Accreditation Felons<\/strong><\/p>\n

This graphic ran alongside a piece on how the IAF could stop one illegal practice overnight, if it chose to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My God, It’s Full of Stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This graphic ran with the guidance document article on implementing Human Factors in AS9100.\"\"<\/a>Damn, They’re Shredded<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the AS9100 RMC refused<\/a> to take up a formal complaint put to it, this on-the-nose graphic emerged.\"\"<\/a>PEBCAK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prosegur got hacked<\/a> while having an ISO 27001 certificate. Awkward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Clean Slate<\/strong><\/p>\n

We got the reporting wrong, but when we thought Probitas had removed its Code of Conduct, the piece ran with this editorial graphic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vacation’s All I Ever Wanted<\/strong><\/p>\n

TC 176 likes its parties, but then tries to hide the photos afterward. We got ’em anyway.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vacation, Had to Get Away<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did I mention that TC 176 likes its parties?<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stealth Mode Engaged<\/strong><\/p>\n

It took some digging — and hiring a real-life private detective — to find the names of real people behind the accreditation body UAF, but we managed it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deaf, Dumb and Dumberer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe the earplug thing gets old, but so does having to report<\/a> on IAF bodies ignoring evidence of accreditation violations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OK, So Size Does Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Probitas ruled that it’s okay for AS9100 auditors to falsify their aerospace resume, we padded the article<\/a> with this graphic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking Ill of the Dead<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of ISO 9001’s official authors pissed on the grave of Deming by saying<\/a>, “So what?” if the standard ignored his 14 Points.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I Want My Phone Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

BSI refused to explain<\/a> how it certified a company that was found to have been involved in almost two decades of criminal aerospace fraud.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s From China, So You Know It’s Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

When my reporting got cited in a research paper on fake ISO 9001 certificates in China, it prompted this runalong graphic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Duran Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n

The self-accredited certificate mill American Global Standards insists<\/a> it doesn’t know why there are people selling its services in Iran.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Surrealist Bullshit<\/strong><\/p>\n

The G31000 certificate seller Alex Dali has had so many weird scandals, I can’t remember which one prompted this one. Oh, yeah, he invented a risk “maturity model” and later falsely claimed<\/a> that ISO requires it.<\/p>\n
