    In this episode of 'Lead the Standard,' Kelly and Jackie discuss the anticipated 2026 revision of ISO 9001, the world’s foremost quality management standard. They explore four key areas of change: stronger emphasis on risk-based thinking, the evolution of quality culture, climate change considerations, and the impact of emerging technologies. While the draft has not been publicly released, the discussion includes insights based on current research and past trends. They relate these changes to real-world applications, stressing the importance of proactive adaptation to maintain systems and performance. The episode also underscores that quality management practices should evolve with emerging business and environmental challenges. *Note: The current Qantas CEO is Vanessa Hudson. Kelly would like to apologise to Vanessa for forgetting her name; And to both Michele Bullock (CEO of the Reserve Bank of Australia) and Jayne Hrdlicka (CEO of Virgin Australia Airlines) for getting them confused.

    15 Nonconformances Before an Audit? Here’s Why That’s a Win

    In this episode of Lead the Standard with Auditor Training Online, I explore why having 15 nonconformances before an audit is actually a win. Often perceived as a negative, nonconformances are a powerful tool for continual improvement and transparency. I discuss how logging these issues doesn't indicate failure but showcases a well-functioning system. Inspired by a conversation with a client concerned about nonconformances, I explain why auditors prefer to see them as they reflect a commitment to quality and improvement. I also introduce a non-conformance workflow model designed to help organizations identify, record, and address these issues effectively. Join me as I break down the steps to transform nonconformances into opportunities for growth, ensuring your management system is robust and credible.
