ISO Sensible?

I was talking about the 'quality project' at a social gathering recently (not to bore - I was asked to explain!) and after I had described what I actually wanted to accomplish, one of the group, who is an engineer and daily works to the standards required by ISOs, DINs etc. said "You are describing an 'ISO Sensible' - now get a move on and define exactly what you consider to be the benefits, drawbacks and set out a clear methodology."

Very sound advice. And I'll work on the definitions, which will no doubt be sharpened and made more precise as the methodology is tried and tested.

So the next sequence of blogs will cover quality and profesionalism beginning at home.

When that is sorted, we'll tackle the next section - our clients/customers. As the old saying goes - you only have once chance to make a first impression.

Then - quality professional work and interaction with collegues and competitors.

And - next - how to collaborate trans-disciplinary (across skills and professional training) - how a cluster f SMEs and micro-enterprises, by collaborating, can tackle bigger projects while still maintaining their independence and ability to make decisions.

No doubt there will be other sections to deal with (after all I'm still at the defining stage) but I hope that once the project is better known there'll be input readers of the blog and Twitter feeds.
