Consultancy Approach and Background
Brian Mead is an experienced consultant who utilises a very practical approach to implementing quality and environmental management systems based on his considerable experience originally as a Quality Manager within a corporate Blue Chip and now, since 2003, as an independent consultant successfully helping all types of businesses to gain the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.
Brian tailors each implementation to the specific
needs of the client organisation and ensures that any documented
procedures are kept to an absolute minimum, whilst still ensuring
an effective management system and of course compliance with the
standard(s).
When drafting a new Systems Manual, whether for
an ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 implementation, it will be tailored as
far as possible to the current working practices of the client organisation
and will make use of any existing documentation etc.
He is always careful to avoid incurring any over burdensome bureaucracy, more especially where smaller businesses are concerned.
Brian's Approach to consultancy work is...
To always aim to ensure that whatever work is carried out does in fact have some tangible business benefit.
To avoid over complicating things - much of it
is usually common sense.
To adopt a relatively minimalist approach to implementing ISO 9001 and a belief that it should only be there to assist the business, not hinder it.
To encourage client organisations to carry out as much of the preparation work as possible in order to encourage ownership.
To focus on the underlying Quality
Principles of ISO 9001 so that a successful outcome is more
likely. These can also mostly be applied to ISO 14001.
and lastly..
Brian has an open and honest approach, and continues
to receive Compliments from clients
who have achieved these Standards..
