There’s so much potential in sharing knowledge, technologies, and experiences.
- What information do you want to get out to members?
ISO certifications are a globally recognised symbol of excellence. They demonstrate to clients and stakeholders that your business is professional, committed to quality, and forward-thinking. This increases your market credibility and sets you apart from competitors who may not demonstrate the same level of accountability.
ISO standards provide a proven framework for improving processes and achieving business goals. They encourage organisations to adopt best practices, identify weaknesses, and close gaps in their operations.
- What are you going to offer back to the community?
We want to educate EMN Members on the true value of ISO standards. ISO isn’t just a standard(s) which runs parallel to your business operations or is a regulatory burden. These standards are globally recognised as a symbol of excellence and their true value lies in our ability to help our clients unlock new levels of efficiency and customer satisfaction giving them a competitive advantage.
We want to educate EMN members to see ISO standards as a tool for continuous improvement, to help them better their business performance and long-term growth. We want to help members understand how ISO can strategically help streamline their business processes, improve quality, and help them respond proactively to risks and opportunities.
By staying at the forefront of certification developments and legislation changes, we aim to provide members with fresh ideas and strategies to improve their operations.
NVQA views our place in the EMN community not just as an opportunity to gain visibility but as a way to build meaningful partnerships, inspire others, and enhance the engineering and manufacturing sectors as a whole.
