Accenture’s report “CEO Study on Sustainability 2013”, outlined the following top three factors driving CEOs to take action on sustainability issues: 1) brand, trust and reputation, 2) potential for revenue growth/cost reduction, 3) consumer/ customer demand. It is interesting to note that investors are not a critical driver for companies to take action on sustainability. Accenture released “The Investor Study: Insights from PRI Signatories” this September, which outlines the struggle CEOs are having for the business case on sustainability. Companies and investors have radically different perspectives on what sustainability is.
Organizations depend on their customers and therefore quality management is key to understanding and meeting current and future customer needs. Social media has impacted brand and reputation for concerns tied with prevention of pollution and the importance of protecting workers.
Management Systems to international standards are used in over 190 countries to ensure effective and efficient business process operations which impact quality, environment, health and safety. Standards help organizations to compete in the global marketplace on a level playing field. Doing business requires a company to show to others around the world that they have systems in place to manage and grow their business.
In many companies management system frameworks to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 were implemented by middle managers and set up as separate systems. These management systems when integrated reduce duplication and focus on prioritizing objectives for all area. CEOs and CFO’s have limited understanding of the international standard requirements and how the management system functions. The key to managing dynamic business operations is to have systems in place to capture real-time critical information to give business leaders the edge through analytics. Knowing the ISO framework and how it works helps to retrieve this data for decision making to drive business success. The management system framework needs to support innovation, change management, automation and technology.
Part three assists the leader(s) of an organization to understand integrated international standards. Pilot formulated a “Three Step Process: Identify, Insure, Improve,” to implement and audit your management system, focusing on “continual improvement”. This implementation process has been followed by over 2,000 major corporations in North America.
Time is of the essence to be successful in the competitive landscape. Chapter three outlines the Pilot Project to implement an integrated management system. Spaces have been left throughout the book for you as a leader to take charge and make this book your reference of action items you will take.
Actions speak louder than words.
