Certification Programme Management

The key to trouble-free compliance

Teamwork provides full project management services for organisations wishing to achieve certification to ISO Standards. Following Gap Analysis, Teamwork will prepare a detailed project plan to be agreed by your management team. All actions will have clearly defined deliverables and timescales, which will be consolidated into a Continuous Service Improvement Plan (CSIP). Once you have agreed these actions we drive the implementation programme for you to minimise the impact on your resources and to achieve certification in the required time.

A framework for delivery

As a first step, Teamwork produces a comprehensive overview document which sets the framework for the project. This will aid the certification process by providing the assessors with clear descriptions of policy, objectives, responsibilities, resources, systems and processes. The overview will make it easier for your employees, partners, suppliers and subcontractors to assimilate all of your management systems through a single document.

The right documentation

Teamwork consultants will work closely with your management team to draft policy and process documents and will develop effective controls for manuals and support documentation. A key feature of our approach is to draft as much of the documentation as possible for members of your organisation to review, rather than leaving them to begin with a blank sheet of paper.

Keeping everybody up to date

Teamwork will help brief your organisation to ensure your people understand the new processes and policies. This includes training of employees, education of internal auditors, provision of awareness and guidance information, and support to individual actions that need to be completed to prepare for formal assessment.

Working with the assessors

Teamwork will identify and recommend a UKAS accredited certification organisation, an assessor that is credible at all levels in your organisation and can be seen to add value during the assessment process which normally comprises two stages. We will then manage the interface with the certification organisation throughout the implementation and assessment stages of the project.

An integrated suite of services

As part of our Integrated Management Systems suite, Certification Programme Management is the element which allows you to plan and achieve your certifications with minimal impact to your resources.
