In a context where efficiency, consistency, and risk control have ceased to be differentiators and have become basic survival requirements, operational excellence must be treated as an outcome — and management systems as its enablers. Integration is a powerful path to achieving this outcome, especially in larger or more complex organizations, but it is not a prerequisite: solid management principles work at all maturity levels, whether through a single system (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or ISO 45001) or through integrated approaches.

When applied effectively, management systems support predictable performance, reduce failures, and strengthen decision‑making. More than fulfilling certification requirements, they connect data, risks, and continual improvement — aligning quality, environment, and health & safety in a strategic and coherent way across the organization.

In this webinar, we will show how organizations across different sectors use operational insight (visibility into risks, processes, and behaviors) to act before incidents or nonconformities occur; how effective management systems sustain performance; and when integration truly improves efficiency. We will also address sector‑specific realities (General Industry, Maritime, Mobility), the role of training in building competence, and an objective view of standards updates — including the ISO 14001 revision currently in FDIS with publication expected in April 2026, and the ISO 9001 revision with publication estimated for September 2026.

What you will learn in this webinar

  • Operational Excellence in practice
    What it means to deliver predictable and resilient performance — consistent processes, capable people, and aligned systems.
  • Why Excellence starts with insight
    How to expand visibility into risks and performance across processes, sites, and functions, enabling earlier and more effective action.
  • Effective Management Systems
    How a single system or an integrated system sustains consistency, efficiency, and risk control without unnecessary documentation burden.
  • Integration: when and how
    What truly makes integration work (shared processes, clear responsibilities, unified data) and when it delivers real efficiency gains.
  • Industry realities (General Industry, Maritime, Mobility)
    Practical examples of common challenges and approaches that increase consistency across units, ship‑shore operations, and OEM requirements.
  • Competence and Training
    Why capability building is a strategic pillar — it reduces operational risks, standardizes practices, and avoids dependence on a few experts.
  • Standards updates (ISO 14001 and ISO 9001)
    What to monitor now: transition timelines, moderate changes, and areas that require strengthened evidence and practice.
    (ISO 14001 FDIS released on January 5, 2026; expected publication April 2026; transition estimated at up to 3 years. ISO 9001 DIS published with final release expected in Q3 2026.)
  • Practical next steps
    How to prepare without disrupting operations: awareness, strengthening internal competence, and a light gap review to prioritize adjustments.

Who this webinar is for

Leaders, quality managers, environmental professionals, occupational health and safety teams, operational teams, auditors, and all those responsible for implementing, maintaining, or optimizing (single or integrated) ISO management systems — at any level of maturity.
