A terrifying time was had by all…
I’ve recently done a couple of presentations, with Adrian Quayle of P&Q Consulting, on the use of the best-practice principles within BS 11000: Collaborative Business Relationships at events focussed on “knowledge management”. The October event focussed on “legal” knowledge and IP, and the November one covered “electronic information management” as it relates to cyber security … Continue reading “A terrifying time was had by all…”

I’d Forgotten How Difficult Written Exams Were…part 2
So, on a cold and damp June morning (otherwise known as a British summer!), I was standing outside ISOQAR’s building feeling somewhat anxious. Once inside with the rest of the attendees, the nervous bonhomie helped calm my heart rate and everyone settled in quickly. There were 11 of us, from a variety of industries and … Continue reading “I’d Forgotten How Difficult Written Exams Were…part 2”
I like being informed
As I said in my last blog, this month I’m off to Crewe to attend an ISO 9001: 2008 to ISO 9001: 2015 Transition Event. I’m really looking forward to it for a variety of reasons, one of which it that the location is a nice hotel in the country less than 40 minutes’ drive … Continue reading “I like being informed”
