Achieving certification to multiple ISO standards can be time consuming and costly, but an IMS incorporates all of an organisation’s processes and systems so that they are working under – and towards – one set of policies and objectives. With an IMS, risks and opportunities are no longer managed in silos within the organisation, but with one unified or integrated approach from the leadership team.

This guide discusses the benefits of an IMS, and the strategies you should consider before implementing one. It references a vast number of standards that can be integrated but stresses the need for senior management to lead the implementation by deciding upon objectives and which standards to include.

Ideal for the c-suite, directors, compliance managers, auditors and trainers, this pocket guide will explain:

What an IMS is – even if you have no prior knowledge, this book will help you envisage what an IMS is and how it works;
How to develop a strategy for IMS implementation – this guide emphasises the importance of effectively planning your IMS implementation by having objectives set by senior management to encourage a unified approach; and
The benefits of an IMS – information on how an IMS can benefit your organisation, e.g. avoiding duplication of effort as management systems are no longer working in silos, reducing the number of audits required, and making more effective use of senior management time.

Key features:

An easy-to-follow introduction to an IMS, and advice on IMS implementation strategies.
Discusses the challenges you may face during implementation and how to prepare for and overcome them.
Advice on audits and IMS certification.
