The Real Cost of Self-Managed ISO

And Why You Should Outsource Your Company’s ISO Certification

The perils of ‘DIY’ ISO

Your business requires ISO certification and a sound ISO business management system, so it seems to make sense to save on the cost of a consultant and to assign ISO responsibilities to a chosen team member. But as Matt Jones, MD of EmmersonWills explains, “During my time auditing before becoming a consultant, I would see companies struggling with their ISO time and time again. A decision would be made internally to save on the cost of a consultant and do it in-house. However, the reality is that it is often the most expensive strategy, and the costs are far more than financial.”

When an inadequately trained staff member is expected to manage company ISO alongside their core role, this inevitably skyrockets their workload and takes them away from their other key duties. Quite often, this person feels pressured and frustrated that they can’t dedicate enough time to any of their responsibilities – and cracks start to form.

When morale and productivity are low, this negativity infects the culture of the whole business, and valued employees may feel forced to resign as they simply can’t focus on the job they were originally hired to do.

Heavy systems have no value

Lack of ISO experience can result in a system that is overly complex, inflexible, and incompatible with a business’s needs. In today’s fast-paced business world, the more there is to read, or use, the less a system is referred to or utilised. Therefore, companies with heavy systems are left with just two options:

• To change the system regularly – but this is costly and open to a lack of document control.
• To ignore the systems and get the job done – and as such, the system becomes non-compliant. It is then necessary to spend more time and money addressing the system for assessment.

Streamlined ISO Certification

Imagine how different things could be with the full support of a professional team of ISO Consultants – enabling your business to operate more efficiently, whilst also being safe in the knowledge that your ISO is taken care of to the highest industry standards.

When ISO can clearly make or break your company – it’s logical to consider reaching out to a reputable ISO specialist that can help your business achieve and maintain ISO certification – and operate more efficiently.

Your company will reap the rewards of having a healthy ISO system in place – seeing an improvement to core business function, that safeguards the future of your business.

You can expect the following benefits:

• Increased sales ability / market competitiveness
• Easier and faster tendering process
• Increased customer satisfaction & retention
• Expandable systemisation foundations
• Sustainable business growth
