The motivation behind implementing a quality management solution often varies from organization to organization. Often your company may operate successfully for a number of years, remain profitable, and maintain strong prospects for increased revenue and growth, ensuring you are reasonably satisfied with how operations are moving forward.
However, unexpectedly a customer may request that you provide evidence of your organization’s attention to quality by requiring that you furnish an ISO 9001 or ISO 20000 certificate or completion of a successful CMMI Appraisal. An alternative incentive may be your interest in guidance to increase efficiencies, reduce time to market, manage staff more effectively, or prepare to rapidly scale your operations. Either factor allows for the application of the disciplines of standards or frameworks which can help overcome current challenges and better position the organization for the future.
The business drivers for implementing information security and risk management solutions are influenced by numerous factors. Customers may mandate that you demonstrate how your organization is protecting their investments, keeping their information secure, and that services continue to be available to them at all times. Additionally, you may have concerns that a natural disaster could pose a threat to your business, destroying everything you have worked tirelessly to create. Establishing a plan to prepare for possible problems – instead of just focusing on today’s concerns – is important to you and your customers and will help you develop a strategy for continuity of operations, risk mitigation, and enduring long term success.
