Complementary Webinar | Tuesday 8 December 2026 | 12.30 to 1.00 pm AEDT
What you need to know about ISO9001:2026
Join our experienced Quality Management, ISO certification and Culture & Leadership specialists to get the information, insights and understanding you need to plan and prepare for your organisation’s transition to ISO9001:2026.
Preparing for a successful transition to ISO9001:2026
While ISO9001:2026 is an evolution of the Quality Management Standard, rather than a revolution, the expansion of leadership expectations, requirements and responsibilities – in particular quality culture and ethical behaviour – is significant.
Over the course of this highly informative 30-minute webinar, our experienced team of consultants will answer your questions and take you through:
1. The most notable changes to the Standard and key differences between ISO9001:2015 and ISO9001:2026
HSEQ and ISO certification support and auditing specialist, Damien Wallis, will provide a topline overview of the key changes to each clause of the Standard.
2. What quality culture and the expanded leadership responsibilities mean in practice
Culture and Leadership specialist, Debra Burlington, will help you to understand, plan and prepare to be audited against the expanded and now explicitly stated leadership expectations, requirements and responsibilities relating to:
-
Quality culture and leadership
-
Ethical behaviour
-
Strategic direction and change management
-
Risk and opportunity management
-
Climate change
3. The opportunities the transition to the new standard presents
While often approached as a compliance exercise, the transition offers organisations who approach it strategically the opportunity to:
-
Improve processes, efficiencies and operational performance.
-
Identify opportunities and manage risks more effectively.
-
Become more resilient, be more competitive and create a commercial advantage.
4. Where to start and how to prepare for a successful transition
Finally, we'll take you through a step-by-step plan and send you a Gap Analysis Checklist to guide you through the transition process.
