What is an ISO Lead Implementer Course?

An ISO Lead Implementer Course develops knowledge of how to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a management system based on a specific ISO standard.

A Lead Implementer needs to understand the relevant standard, evaluate organisational requirements, coordinate implementation activities and support the integration of management system processes into everyday operations. This may involve reviewing existing procedures, identifying gaps, developing implementation plans, allocating responsibilities, managing documentation and monitoring progress.

The precise responsibilities depend on the management system being implemented. For example, a Quality Management System focuses on consistent processes and customer satisfaction, while an Environmental Management System addresses environmental aspects, impacts and performance.
