Paul has over 25 years’ experience in auditing and training related to the ISO9001 family of standards. He is a member of the QS-1 committee in BSI and has been an active participant in the revision process for ISO9001: 2015, which focuses on “Risk Based Thinking”.
Is your organisation ready for the transition to ISO9001: 2015 with the focus on risk based thinking?
In September 2015 the revision to ISO9001 was released. Unlike the minor changes in 2008, the 2015 version will change structure to align with other Management System standards (e.g. ISO14001) with more focus on “Risk Based Thinking”. Organisations certified to ISO9001 will have three years to review and update their system and be assessed against the new standard:
Quality Partner offers a wide range of training and support to help your organisation make an effective and value added transition to the revised standard.
Quality Partner 2 day “A practical approach to Risk Based Thinking”
While there has been significant discussion on the changed requirements in ISO9001: 2015 and focus on risk based thinking, organisations are looking for guidance on how to apply the requirements in a practical value added way, that will benefit rather than hinder the organisation success. Quality Partner runs a 2 day “Risk Based Thinking” training course to help organisations understand the changes in ISO9001: 2015 and make a successful transition.

“We have attended various of Paul’s training sessions and seminars over many years and always found them to be well structured, well presented, informative and useful (going back to QS9000 days!)
Paul is very knowledgeable and skilled with a lot of experience derived from the field and practical experience.
He has proved to be a good, reliable source of information that we’ve often used, always willing to help and answer questions.
He has a very good training/presentation style that is sympathetic to the audience i.e. pitched at the right level and using clear, simple language, readily understandable even for non-native English speakers. He is a very good communicator and educator.
Someone that you can definitely learn a lot from and who gives the feeling that that is his mission/passion in life.”
