Why the Thread of Success is also compatible with ISO standards
ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization, a globally recognized organization that develops and publishes standards to promote best practices in various fields.
ISO offers standards for various areas such as quality management, environmental management, information security, energy management and many others. These standards serve as a guide and reference for organizations to improve their processes, increase efficiency, minimize risks and ensure quality. The ISO standards are used by many companies and organizations worldwide as the basis for their operations and compliance with requirements. By applying ISO standards, organizations can improve their performance, build customer confidence and meet international standards. A very well-known ISO standard is ISO 9001.
ISO 9001 requires organizations to define quality objectives. These objectives should be measurable and in line with the organization’s quality policy. This Step corresponds to “Strive for Success” in the Thread of Success.
ISO 9001 emphasizes the importance of customer satisfaction and requires organizations to identify and meet customer requirements and expectations. Organizations should also consider the needs and expectations of other relevant stakeholders (such as employees, suppliers, regulatory authorities).
ISO 9001 requires organizations to draw up plans to achieve their quality objectives. This includes resource planning, risk management, process planning and other relevant aspects.
ISO 9001 requires organizations to implement their planned activities while ensuring the quality of their products and services. This includes monitoring and controlling processes to ensure that they work as planned.
ISO 9001 requires regular internal audits and management reviews to monitor the performance of the quality management system and promote continuous improvement.
Overall, the Thread of Success supports the ISO 9001 standard by providing a structured approach to goal achievement and performance improvement that emphasizes consideration of stakeholder expectations and the need for planning, implementation and review.
The introduction and maintenance of an ISO 9001-compliant quality management system (QMS) represents a major effort for many companies. The more employees already cultivate the thought patterns and apply them naturally, the greater the motivation and benefits will be. The “Thread of Success” can make a major contribution to this.
