Business Planning and Internal Audit Training

I have at least one client visit each day this week, so Monday starts with a clear plan. Before heading out, I arranged an appointment with a new client and sent them business planning information. In the evening, I finalised arrangements to deliver internal audit training in the coming weeks. 

A New Product Launch and Process Improvement

A visit to a client coincided with the launch of the new www.bonaccordprint.co.uk web site. I took away a few samples that have certainly given me ideas for my own business! I wish them well with the product. Back home, I reviewed a process improvement plan before enjoying a yoga class.

 

Internal Auditing

The second audit of the week was in a very sunny Dyce with one of my oil industry clients. They achieved ISO 9001 in record time last year and it was good to catch up with the team. I was back in Dundee in time for another relaxing yoga class. 

Management System Software

I had a lovely morning walk with our dog before meeting a new company specialising in management system software. We spent a couple of interesting hours reviewing and discussing the product before I made a site visit in the afternoon.

 

Business Continuity & Plan for Next Week

Before visiting a client, I reviewed a Business Continuity Plan and made sure that everything is organised for another busy week next week, which includes meeting a new client to discuss ISO 9001, carrying out internal auditing and helping with business planning.
