Yes. Our consultants are experts at remote collaboration. By working closely with a member of your team who acts as their guide, and using professional tools for video conferencing and screen sharing, they conduct a thorough and effective analysis. Our consultants have years of successful experience with remote gap analyses.
For the most seamless experience and an immediately actionable plan, we strongly recommend having our ISO 9001 Certification Toolkit. This allows our consultant to craft a roadmap tailored directly to our specific templates and guides, saving you significant time. If you do not have it, we can still provide a high-level analysis.
You will need a video conferencing setup. A key team member will guide our consultant through your processes virtually. We also use collaboration tools for screen sharing to review documents and processes in real-time, ensuring no detail is missed.
While it is a standalone service, it is designed to create a powerful "hybrid" approach when combined with our Toolkit. The resulting implementation plan is specifically built for our templates, making execution faster and easier. You can purchase the service alone, but the Toolkit is highly recommended for the best results.
Very. Our consultants work within your business hours to minimize disruption. For remote services, we can often begin within a week. On-site visits require about three weeks' notice for scheduling and travel arrangements.
