ISO Implementation - Should I Wait, or Proceed Now?
 
The effects of this recession are widespread.  Many companies are contracting as orders fall off.  Others struggle for their very survival.  In the midst of these difficult times, some organizations are postponing investments, while others see this as an opportunity to implement strategies for long-term success.

This recession, like all others, will end one day.  Leading economists already see signs that 2010 will be a year of growth in many sectors.  The question is, "Will your organization be ready for it?"

There are many reasons to invest in ISO registration now.  Achieving ISO certification positions your organization for success as the global market emerges from the recession.  Moreover, ISO credentials are quickly becoming a prerequisite to successfully compete in a world that increasingly demands high quality and respect for the environment.  In some industries, such as aerospace, it is now a requirement.  

Without question, being ISO certified broadens the marketplace for an organization's goods and services.  As competition heats up, attention to high quality is also critical to customer retention.  And investments in ISO certification are typically recovered from cost savings and added business that are directly reflected in the bottom line.  

Financial assistance is available to help organizations prepare themselves for the future.  Change Management Consulting has considerable experience in assisting companies access public funding for this purpose.
