Overview of the ISO Integrated Use of Management System Standards 2018 Handbook and how it can be used to help develop and implement any ISO and non-ISO management system standard.

There’s a view many people have, that in an ISO 9001 Quality management system, you don’t have to worry about compliance to legal requirements. Or not much anyway.

In this webinar, Jeff Ryall dispels that myth, and shows how ISO 9001 places legal requirements right at the core of your management system.

This webinar explores the kinds of legal requirements you need to consider, their place in the process approach, and how to implement legal compliance into your ISO 9001 system in a way that’s both simple and effective.

PRESENTER – Jeff Ryall, AOQ Director & RelianSys® founder

Jeff Ryall is widely regarded as one of Australia’s thought leaders in Quality Management, with special emphasis on Governance automation and best practice application. His deep experience and accomplishments in the Quality field, with particular focus on risk and compliance management enable him to speak with authority and insight on this subject area. Working with leaders and managers in the highly regulated sectors across Australasia and beyond, he guides people to transform their approach to strategic and operational governance. How? By embracing a holistic approach integrating strategy, culture, and process.

He established RelianSys to provide the missing component of good governance – effective automation tools that enable strategy to be actioned, culture to be strengthened, real visibility to be obtained, and productivity to be achieved. Literally, transforming governance.

Jeff’s experience in governance, compliance, and risk, in the government, commercial and not-for-profit sectors spans around 35 years.

He’s involved in lots of ways to influence the strengthening of Governance capability in Australia, including as past President and current Director of the Australian Organisation for Quality, and as AOQ’s representative on the Governance Technical Committee of Standards Australia.

Jeff has co-authored or contributed to 4 books on the subject, including the popular “Quality Systems Handbook”.

Are you concerned that your organisation’s current methods of assessing Risks and Opportunities are not reliable, consistent and adequate processes to provide better informed decision-making?

This webinar reveals and explains practical “hacks” or tips for improving R&O assessment approaches and “how to” tools which you can integrate with, or replace some of your existing R&O Management processes. You will learn practical tools which address a range of issues – including

• how to avoid pitfalls when facilitating or participating in an R&O Assessment
• using the Delphi Technique in team assessments
• factors affecting under – / over – estimating likelihood / probability
• who needs to be members of a risk assessment team
• how to better understand and distinguish between incidents, risks, opportunities
• eliminate arguments about severity / magnitude of consequences
• demystifying ROBT Risk & Opportunity Based Thinking
• clarifying the relationships between risk/uncertainty and opportunity/certainty
• models for understanding Uncertainty and Complexity
• the types & values of verbal and graphical R&O descriptions, statements and questions
• analysis of effectiveness of existing risk controls / opportunity enablers BEFORE estimation of current residual Likelihood.
• the use of sequential levels of risk estimation – qualitative / semi-quantitative / quantitative
• the nature & benefits of essential communications before / during / after an R&O Assessment

Are we learning from incidents and applying Continuous improvements?
Are we identifying root causes to eliminate the incidents/ failure or non-conformance?

The session will provide typical examples of lessons learnt across industries, including supply chains, and provide basic knowledge for performing Root Cause Analysis. It will also highlight defect trending and common issues within multiple industries.

The event covered the following aspects of root cause analysis:

• High level overview of incidents and impact
• Incident/ NCR  prioritisation – Choosing the right issues to meet objectives.
• Typical examples applied to Projects and Assets.
• What are the common issues across multiple industries?
• Phases of RCA – root cause analysis – Problem statement, Cause analysis and Solution development and implementation.

PRESENTER – Suresh Prabhakaran, WA Chapter Lead

It might seem obvious, but if humans are involved in a process then human factors come into play. But what really are human factors and how do they impact the success or failure of a process or system? When something goes wrong, is it about a human error or a human factor?

Join Jim Whiting as he explores the topic of human factors and discusses how they tie into Risk and Opportunity Management. With an extensive career in risk management, causal analysis and management systems, Jim has a wealth of practical knowledge that he shared with everyone.

Across the session Jim discussed:

• Should “human error” in relation to a quality incident/risk be regarded as a cause or as a consequence?
• In Quality R&OM, are humans regarded as the “problem” or the “solution”?
• Compare WAI – work as intended, with WAD – work as done and why can they be different?
• What is an approved shortcut?
• What is a Risk & Opportunity Conversation [ROC Talk]?

This was a very interesting and thought provoking session that gave everyone greater insights into just how much human factors influence the work that we do.

Quality Management Systems (QMS) is a globally recognised standard to manage systems, processes, and resources, effectively and efficiently. Incorporating the Seven Principles of Quality Management is essential to drive the leadership, culture, and achieve business excellence. This book draws bodies of knowledge of management methodologies, principles, business models, frameworks and case studies to learn:

• What are the quality management principles and how to seamlessly integrate them into day-to-day practices?
• How to use business models and frameworks to drive customer focus and culture?
• How to use leadership capabilities, principles and practices to drive the desired culture and results?
• How to empower employees, build trust, relationships and accountability to improve products and services?
• How to make organisational processes effective and efficient, align to a common objective, and continually improve?

Six Sigma, Lean and ISO9001 are all great quality management system models.

In addition, the Australian Business Excellence Frame work has its merits, but many quality professionals have limited understanding on how its principles support continual improvement

Heather Falckh’s experience and understanding of the different quality models and her specialisation in the Australian Business Excellence Framework will help you understand what works well in varied situations.
